But now a company has been set up in Egypt that provides services for arranging funerals for the deceased.
The Egyptian company has been providing services ranging from the coffin to the grave excavation and burial, as well as advertising in newspapers and holding condolence ceremonies.
Sokna, a company founded by a few Egyptians, has adopted the slogan, "You have honored them in life and we are honoring them after their death."
Ahmed Jabullah, co-founder of the company, said he came up with the idea of setting up a company for funeral arrangements in 2005 when a friend's father died and after his death he and his family were given a bath and other matters Encountered difficulties in performing.
Ahmed Jabullah added that he set up the company seven years ago with a few of his friends, and that we had arranged for the last rites of the deceased on a professional basis.
He said that apart from bathing the bodies and burying the shrouds, we also carry out the responsibility of distributing the alms and charities given to the deserving people for the reward of the deceased.
The co-founder of the Egyptian company said that his company has so far assisted his family in arranging the funeral of 340 dead people and has also signed contracts with 10 different Egyptian hospitals.
Ahmed Jaballah said that the mission of the company is to provide burial facilities to the citizens without any discrimination. The imam, or if the deceased is a Christian, arranges for a pastor.
He also said that many families are having difficulty in obtaining a grave site, so our company also provides assistance in obtaining a grave site and we receive compensation for all these services.
