Maintenance of Graves

*MAYLANDS CEMETERY GRAVE UPDATE*

AsSalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuhu.

We wish to provide an update regarding recent grave subsidence.

Management is fully aware of the situation and continues to monitor all affected areas. The necessary works will be undertaken as soon as it is practically possible to do so, with priority given to burials.

Please note that grave settlement is a normal and expected occurrence. It is necessary to allow sufficient time for the ground to naturally settle and stabilise before any remedial work can effectively commence. Recent adverse weather conditions have exacerbated this process. Allowing an appropriate settling period helps ensure that any works carried out are durable and do not need to be repeated.

Your understanding and cooperation would be greatly appreciated.

JazakAllah Khair

First Burial at Maylands Cemetery - Tuesday, 8th October 2024

We are humbled to announce the first burial at our new Maylands Cemetery took place on Tuesday 8th October 2024.

Gardens of Peace acquired the land near Junction 28 of the M25 in 2007, and after 17 years of overcoming planning challenges and preparing the site, Maylands is now ready for use. This cemetery will accommodate adult burials and, InshAllah, meet the community’s burial needs for the next 5 to 7 years.

Burials at Maylands will be coordinated with our existing Five Oaks Cemetery, which is expected to be fully utilised by late 2025. After that time, all burials will take place at Maylands.

Address:
Colchester Road, Romford, RM3 0NZ (For Sat Nav, use RM3 0FF)
