Muslim cemetery embraces digital age
How muslimgraves.com / muslimcemeteries.org brings online burial booking, geo-tagged graves and undertaker workshops into everyday cemetery operations.
muslimgraves.com digitises Muslim cemeteries with online booking, partner workflows and GPS grave directions. Piloted at Mowbray; open to cemeteries across the Cape and beyond.
Founded by the Muslim Cemeteries Association (MCA) in 2021 after Mowbray Cemetery asked for a web app to replace paper burial processes. Introduced in 2022 at Mowbray, muslimgraves.com offers families a simple way to book burials online and locate loved ones' geo-tagged graves from any phone or laptop. The platform also provides undertakers with clear, step-by-step guidance, ensuring the entire process is handled smoothly and with care.
