In 2007 new freehold land was acquired by the Trust for a future cemetery. It is 30 acres in size, compared to the current cemetery which is 21.5 acres.  The land is 20 minutes by car from the current cemetery and also 20 minutes by car from Ilford town centre.

Insha’Allah, the new land and the existing cemetery will meet the burial needs of the community for many, many decades to come.

May Allah reward all those who have contributed to the purchase by generously giving Qardh Husanah (interest free loans) and Lillah Donations.

Considerable time and resources will be needed to prepare the land, just as it took for the current cemetery.  The Trust is committed to preparing the land to the same high standard as the current cemetery.

As the land will not be needed for burial for many years given the space available in the current cemetery, its preparation will be a long term project for the Trust.
