Understanding and respecting the needs of Muslim burial rites and customs

Here at Howden, we understand that time is a big factor, with burial in no more than 24 hours being the preferred option. We know that ‘Janazah’ typically involves multiple friends, family, and community members visiting the funeral home or gathering space before transportation to the mosque, so we can work together to ensure your premises and/or visitors are fully protected (subject to policy terms and conditions). So, whether you’re a Muslim funeral director with your own premises or a volunteer working on behalf of a mosque, we can arrange the appropriate liability cover tailored for you.

We’ll make sure your motor fleet is fully covered for a number of circumstances, just in case there’s a problem enroute. All the cover we offer will comply with connected tenets of Islamic law.

Need assistance on meeting your premium payments? We also offer interest-free instalments* – because we know that’s important.

*Terms & Conditions

• Credit checks are carried out on every business we insure. Interest-free instalments will only be offered to those with a minimum of ‘Good’ Experian credit score shown by green on their result.
• The full annual premium will be split into three equal parts. Howden will not automatically take any payments, so it is your responsibility to ensure that the first instalment is paid prior to renewal or inception of the policy. The second and third instalments will then need to be made one calendar month apart.
• If an instalment is missed, we will issue an intention to cancel cover within 7 days of the missed payment by Recorded Delivery letter to your address. If payment is made within these 7 days, cancellation will be stopped.
• There is no requirement to take the interest-free instalments, payment of your premium can be made in full.
