at Kemps Creek Memorial Park
Kemps Creek Memorial Park is dedicated to supporting the Muslim community in southwest Sydney and beyond by offering burial options that respect Islamic customs and traditions. This thoughtfully designed burial lawn ensures that your loved ones are laid to rest with dignity and in accordance with all religious and cultural practices.
A Place for All Islamic Practices
Our Muslim burial lawn accommodates all denominations, including Sunni and Shia, reflecting the diversity of Sydney's Muslim population. This community comprises people from various cultural backgrounds, including Lebanon, Turkey, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Egypt, Somalia, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Iran, and Iraq.
Respect for Islamic Traditions
Islamic burial practices are guided by sharia, the religious law based on the Qur’an. These customs ensure that the burial, funeral, and mourning processes are carried out with respect and adherence to faith. At Kemps Creek Memorial Park, the burial lawn is designed to face the Qibla (the direction of Mecca), a vital aspect of Islamic burials.
Our dedicated team has been trained in Islamic traditions and cultural sensitivities, ensuring burials are handled with care and within the required timeframes. Families can have peace of mind knowing that their loved ones will be laid to rest with the utmost respect.
Features of the Muslim Burial Lawn
Families visiting Kemps Creek Memorial Park will experience a tranquil and respectful setting for remembrance. The space includes:
Double-interment burial sites for families wishing to have loved ones buried together.
A natural environment that fosters a peaceful atmosphere for reflection.
Accessibility for family visits, with pathways and spaces designed for ease of movement and gathering.
Visiting a gravesite is an essential part of Islamic practice. Families often recite Quranic verses and offer prayers for the deceased, particularly on Fridays and special days. Our park's design facilitates these moments, ensuring each visit is meaningful.
