Introduction

MASTUL Foundation and its brave volunteers perform the last rights of the dearly departed. We also perform the same service for those who can afford a funeral. The death of a loved one can be traumatic for relatives as a result of an incomplete farewell. Families desperately want their loved ones to rest in peace. In Islam and many other religions, the way to achieve this is by a performance of the last rights.

MASTUL Foundation and its countless supporters are sympathetic towards this issue. We are here to conduct and oversee respectful and hygienic burials.

Why Is The Funeral Project Important?

Problem

The scary thing is that the dead body of a person who died from any diseases can infect others. As a result, fear and paranoia have spread among the people of Bangladesh. Many refuse to perform the last rights of a death person specially who died in a disease as it entails coming in contact with a potentially infectious source. There have been many cases where dead bodies were left out in the open on the streets. It shows the reluctance to handle the bodies even if it is a family member. Bangladesh is a Muslim majority country where people firmly believe in performing the last rights. It gives families the strength that they need to move on with their lives. If a dead person is not allowed to receive a proper farewell, it spreads pain and suffering among family members that last a lifetime.

Solution

MASTUL Foundation’s Burial Funeral Project is the solution to the psychological trauma that Muslim families have to go through when a loved one is lost. We take it as our duty to console the distressed and give them hope. There is no reason to be scared of organizing funerals if all the right safety measures are observed. It is the right thing to do not only to comply with religion but also with safety standards. The proper burial of a person gets rid of all chances of any disease spreading.

Safety Measures

• Once we hear about someone who has passed away, we send over our volunteers in an ambulance that our loving supporters have given us. All volunteers take the proper safety measures and they are always extra careful as they have families to protect.
• Once the last rights are performed upholding religious sanctity, the ambulance and the burial site are disinfected.
• If not for the brave volunteers of MASTUL, Muslim families would not be able to move on, and they would feel wronged deep down inside.

What Services We Provide For Free

Management Of Dead Bodies

People are scared to handle dead bodies as they do not want to get infected. As a result, the need for dead body management is at its peak. The volunteers of the MASTUL Foundation take all the necessary safety measures while handling bodies that require burial.

Religious Funeral Services

Once a person dies, steps are taken to console the deceased’s family spiritually. Loved once come together and pray for the dearly departed. Upholding these religious norms is very important to the family. So we provide religious funerals regardless.

Religious Funerals For Unclaimed Corpses

Sometimes families do not even come forth to claim the dead bodies. However, leaving these bodies exposed and unburied poses a greater threat of spreading any disease than a safe burial. For this reason, we not only bury unclaimed corpses but also perform religious funerals. After all, everyone deserves a prayer and moment of silence regardless of what the person was like or what religion they belonged to.

Free Ambulance Service For The Poor

MASTUL Foundation started the funeral project. However, we cannot help but notice the countless families who cannot afford a proper funeral for their loved ones. For this reason, we offer our free ambulance service to poor people who lost someone close to their hearts.

Support Us

MASTUL Foundation is doing all that is possible with limited resources. However, there is still so much to be done. People die from Corona daily, and the number of families who cannot afford a funeral for their dearly departed is shocking. To tackle the scale of the unfortunate problem at hand, we need a few more ambulances. Also, the vehicle that we currently have requires regular maintenance and fuel for long trips to go and get bodies.
