Gamble Funeral Home in Savannah, GA provides compassionate funeral services while respecting diverse cultural traditions. When serving families with Pakistani heritage, we understand the importance of incorporating Islamic funeral practices and local cultural customs.
In Pakistani culture, funeral rituals typically follow Islamic traditions. The body is washed and shrouded in simple white cloth, known as kafan. Funeral prayers, called Salat al-Janazah, are performed by the community. Burial usually occurs as soon as possible, often within 24 hours.
Traditional Pakistani mourning practices include a three-day mourning period where family members receive visitors offering condolences. Many families also observe a 40-day mourning period with regular prayers and Quran recitations. Community support through food preparation and assistance with arrangements is common.
Gamble Funeral Home accommodates these traditions by providing appropriate facilities for ritual washing, space for congregational prayers, and coordination with local mosques and Islamic centers. We also assist with transportation arrangements and documentation required for international cases when families wish to repatriate remains to Pakistan. |
