About Us
Welcome to the Muslim institution of Funeral Directors
The IMFD was established in xxx to support Muslim Funeral & Directors & Services in England & Wales. Based in London the IMFD is committed and prides itself in supporting its members to continuously improve their services and provide advisory role in ensuring good governance and industry best practice by collaborating with our members and have a one voice by providing training and Funeral equipment to the Muslim Funeral industry..
Our aim is to make sure that our accreditation is recognized as a badge of quality, which is a source of pride to our members and reassurance to their clients. The IMFD aims to translate and the policies of the IFSO – the new organisation in charge of Funeral Standards; the findings & recommendations from the CMA (Competitions Market Authority) & other regulatory bodies & then forward this guidance to its members to adopt.
We also have Associate members set up in which Muslim Funeral Plan providers (Death Committee) can get help and advice for the products or services they provide.
The 2020-2022 Pandemic has been a testing time for everyone & especially for funeral directors. Being commonly affiliated with charities and often run by volunteers, Muslim Funeral & Bereavement Services in the UK are sometimes confounded as to what the latest rules and governance is, in regards to professional funeral standards. There was also collective recognition for the need to enhance and promote professional funeral standards within the industry. With this in mind we decided to setup the IMFD.
