The two documents behind the declaration. Read them before you begin.

• The Formal Declaration

  The document you complete and sign. It sets out, in your own words, that you are to be washed, shrouded, prayed over and buried according to Islam, and that your body is not to be cremated. This is the record shared with the burial councils.

• The Guidance Note

  Explains what a formal declaration is, how it sits alongside your will without replacing it, and what you may wish to include. Read this first if you are not sure what the declaration is for.
