Burial services
The Ministry of Religious Affairs may look into the public services offered by the mosques, especially in the big cities, such as bathing of the dead body and hiring of the transport for taking the body to the graveyard. Contact information may be available in the mosques, and the approved rates displayed.
At least about Tk. 3000/- is required for a burial (bathing, transport, and graveyard charges). This might prove a handicap for low-income families.
A publicity and awareness campaign is required for standard services, coordinated by the mosque administration.
