What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Families arranging an Islamic burial in Birmingham describe Al-Akhirah as a team that carries them through a difficult period with genuine warmth. Ishtiaq is mentioned by name repeatedly as a calm and reassuring figure who explains each stage patiently, from the initial contact through to the grave. Reviewers recall the collection of a loved one from home and the transfer to the masjid being handled gently, alongside clear explanations of the processes involving medical examiners and coroners. Guidance on the ghusl is given sensitively, with relatives supported as they take part.

A point that comes up often is how swiftly arrangements are completed, easing the strain on the bereaved, while individual requests are accommodated and close attention is paid to detail. Families also describe the ghusl room and the dua rooms as carefully prepared, with seating, Qur'an portions and prayer beads available, and kitchen facilities that can be used. Burials for parents and siblings are remembered, with the professionalism credited to the whole team. The recurring theme is that Islamic values are honoured throughout, and that nothing is left to chance.

My family and I are deeply grateful to Al-Akhirah Muslim Funeral Directors for the care and compassion they showed us following the passing of my younger brother, Wasim. From the moment they collected his body through to the ghusl and the burial, every aspect of their service was handled with the utmost professionalism, dignity, and respect. During an incredibly difficult time, they guided us through the process with kindness, patience, and genuine compassion. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring everything was carried out according to Islamic tradition gave our family great comfort and peace of mind. We cannot thank them enough for the support they provided and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need. May Allah reward them for their efforts and kindness.

A highly professional and compassionate funeral service. They work with efficiency and facilitate all aspects of the funeral and burial process. Their costs are transparent and they go above and assist the bereaved whilst honouring the deceased during their final passage. Highly recommend.

We cannot thank Al Akhirah Funeral Service enough for the excellent care and support provided to our family during such a difficult time. We contacted them out of hours, and Ishtiaq, who was the main person dealing with us, guided us with compassion, professionalism, and understanding from the very first moment. Sadly, we experienced two bereavements within four weeks, and on both occasions everything was handled in an exceptional manner. Their prompt service, support with all faith requirements, and constant reassurance brought great comfort to our family throughout. The kindness, dignity, and respect shown to our loved ones will never be forgotten. We highly recommend Al Akhirah Funeral Service to anyone seeking a caring, reliable, and professional funeral service.

We have used Al-Akhira Funeral Directors for both our father's and auntie’s funerals. Their service was professional and fully in line with Islamic values. Jazakallah khayir and may Allah reward the brother Ishtiaq and the Al-Akhira team for their compassion and excellent work.
