SECOND PHASE DEVELOPMENT

Please click here for pictures of the second phase development. The extent of this second phase is shown in the following plan of the Cemetery:

 
 

Gardens of Peace is the largest Muslim Cemetery in Europe with space for over 10,000 graves set over 21.5 acres of freehold land.

The First Phase Development accomplished:

- Site acquisition
- Installing fencing and CCTV systems for security
- A building to provide salaat, wudhu and toilet facilities
- A car park for 76 cars, plus provision for disabled parking and coaches
- Boundary planting to provide privacy and to comply with planning conditions; and
- Preparation of sufficient land for about 1,000 graves

This all cost over £1m and was funded by Lillah Donations as well as Qard-al-Hasanah (interest free loans) of more than £600,000.

The Second Phase Development started in 2006 and covered:

- Clearing and levelling more land for burials as shown in the above diagram
- Extending existing paths to create access to the new burial plots
- Building access roads for the Janãzah and the plant and equipment needed for burial and to maintain the Cemetery to an excellent standard
- Trees and other planting to add to the peaceful garden setting of the Cemetery; and
- Provision of water and electricity

We still have Qard-al-Hasanah outstanding for work carried out on this Second Phase. Please help us to repay this through Lillah Donations. You can do this at the Cemetery or by post. You can also make secure Lillah Donations online.
