The entire proceedings were disorganised from beginning to end, with no concept of the importance of time keeping.
After many hours wait and numerous phone calls my mother's body was finally collected from our house. Only one person came, where the norm is minimum of 2 people are required for the removal.
The khusal time was given and when we turned up the following morning the masjid remained closed for several hours. When the GANG of ladies finally arrived to perform the ghusal they were disrespectful with non stop talking and had to be reminded to focus on the bathing. VERY DISTURBING TO WITNESS. No consideration for the deceased or the bereaved.
A lot of relatives came from abroad and from different parts of UK. No consideration was given to people who had to travel long distance to get home following the funeral.
The coffin provided was not clean and the ambulance carrying our mother to the burial Ground Was littered with miscellaneous items inside . It is a wonder there was room for rhe coffin . Thoba Thoba.
The Janaza prayers were hurried and left much to be desired. On top of that a random lady unknown to anyone including the mosque proceeded to lecture everyone on an equally random topic. She had to be told to leave when she refused to stop.
No management intervention.
Other funeral services i have attended have been a comfort to everyone.
I have heard many horror stories from people with similar experience as ours if not worse about funeral services at this mosque.
Please familiarise yourself with the mosques workings in this area so no one else has to experience such treatment at a time when one is already suffering pain.
Facilities were clean and plenty of room to worship comfortably.
