Khiblatain Funeral Services guides Kampala's Muslim families through loss with compassion and correctness — ghusl, kafan, Salat al-Janazah, burial and repatriation, arranged in accordance with the Sunnah, day or night.
Assalamu Alaikum, in your time of loss
Every soul shall taste death. Our task is to carry every arrangement, so your family can carry only your grief. كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ
Khiblatain Funeral Services is a Kampala-based Islamic funeral home, established to serve East Africa's Muslim community at its most difficult hour — with knowledge, gentleness and speed.
From the moment you call us we take on the practical burden — ghusl and kafan, Salat al-Janazah, burial permits, grave preparation and transport — so the family is free to grieve, to pray, and to receive condolences.
We are part of Khiblatain Holdings, and a sister company to Khiblatain Hajj & Umrah — the same trust our community has placed in us for the journey to the Sacred Cities, we now extend to the final journey at home.
What guides our care
Every family we serve is treated according to these, without exception.
Compassion first. Every family is met gently, without haste, whatever the hour of the call.
Your loved one, and your trust in us, is a sacred responsibility we handle with total accountability.
Patience with the family, and precision with the rites — every step performed correctly, without rushing what matters.
What we arrange
One call handles every stage — from the moment of passing to the final du'a at the graveside.
Ritual washing and shrouding performed by trained, same-gender attendants, according to the Sunnah.
We arrange the funeral prayer at your local mosque or our own hall, and gather the community to attend.
Grave preparation, cemetery liaison and interment, with the family present for the final du'a.
Prompt, respectful transfer from home, hospital or mortuary to our facility and on to the cemetery.
Returning a loved one home — within Uganda, across East Africa, or internationally — with full documentation.
Death certificates, burial permits and all paperwork handled with the relevant authorities, on your behalf.
Care when you need it, or planned ahead
Indicative pricing — every plan is confirmed with the family before anything is arranged. No hidden costs, ever.

From families we have served
"It was 2am when my father passed. Khiblatain was at the house within the hour and handled everything with such gentleness. We only had to be family."
"My uncle passed while working abroad. They handled the entire repatriation — paperwork, flights, everything — so he could be buried at home as he wished."
"They explained every step of the ghusl and janazah so we understood what was happening and why. It brought real comfort in a hard moment."
Working alongside
We coordinate closely with these trusted institutions on every family's behalf.
