MCC strongly recommends that individuals go through Area Masjid coordinators to obtain lower funeral costs.

Cost estimates of Funeral Homes and Cemeteries are compiled for community’s convenience and financial savings. Some of this cost may be defrayed through the Department of Social Services, if the family qualifies for financial assistance.  Zakat assistance may also be available from Masjids.
