When someone you love has died, faith offers a path to follow, and time matters. An Islamic funeral in Oakland honors a loved one through familiar steps: the washing and shrouding of the body, the Janazah prayer and burial that follows soon after. These are sacred acts, and our team understands their importance. At Chapel of the Chimes, one caring team helps your family move through each step with promptness and respect, so you can focus on your loved one and your faith. Here is how we support families through every part of an Islamic funeral.
Oakland is a community of many cultures and faiths. An Islamic funeral at our Oakland chapel follows the steps your faith calls for, promptly and respectfully, while our team handles the arrangements. Here is what families across the East Bay can expect.
Many Muslim families observe the traditional washing and shrouding of their loved one before burial. These sacred customs are typically carried out by family members or the faith community. We provide respectful support and coordinate arrangements in accordance with your family’s wishes.
The washing of the body, ghusl, and the shrouding, kafan, are sacred steps. We will coordinate these steps with you, your family and community, according to your traditions, to take care of these essential practices.
The Janazah prayer brings family and community together to pray for the one who has passed. We coordinate with your imam to help your family arrange a Janazah service in Oakland so your community can pray with you.
Muslim burial across the East Bay follows familiar customs, including a simple, dignified ground burial that returns a loved one to the earth. We will work with your family to make sure your customs and spiritual practices are observed and respected.
From your first call through burial, one team at our Oakland chapel guides your family. We coordinate each step in one place, in a setting designed with intention to honor a life and legacy, where Oakland has remembered its own since 1909.
