Your free public portal: families search the deceased, view memorial pages, and request a burial. Hosted for you, or embedded on your existing site.
The operations layer
Built around how cemetery offices really work.
Don’t take the words for it. Everything below is the product itself, embedded. Tap, toggle, click.
Bookings the way they actually arrive
Most burial bookings come in by phone and WhatsApp, often outside office hours. The intake screen is built for that: take a booking with just a name, fill the rest as the call goes on, confirm when it’s complete. Works one-handed on a phone.
Afterwards: the confirmation, the family completion link, and the gravedigger’s work order are each one WhatsApp tap, with read receipts back in the office.
When
Burial day
Queue order, no time haggling on the phone. Slot-grid cemeteries see times here instead.
Tap through, sample data, real screens.
Your forms, made digital
Upload the PDF you hand to families today. Its fields become plain-word questions families answer during booking, and its fine print is shown word-for-word, never paraphrased. The paper stays the legal artifact; the typing stops. Hover the form to see the mapping.
The form you hand out today
APPLICATION FOR INTERMENT
I, the undersigned, hereby make application for the interment described above and declare that the particulars given are true to the best of my knowledge and belief…
What families answer during booking
What was their full name?
As it appears on the death certificate.
Which masjid will the janazah prayer be held at?
If it's at the cemetery itself, just say so.
Will the green form be handed in before the burial?
A simple yes/no confirmation. Staff check it at the gate.
The fine print
I, the undersigned, hereby make application for the interment described above… your declaration text, shown word-for-word, never paraphrased.
The plot map
This is Gardens of Peace, live, drawn in the plot editor on a satellite map aligned to the Qibla. Staff copy, paste and resize whole rows at once; families click a grave and see exactly where their loved one rests, with walking directions from the gate.

Burial records that hold up
Assigning a person to a plot becomes a permanent record: every change is logged: who, what, when. Records archive rather than delete, and you can export everything your trust owns as CSV at any time. The data is yours.
Record
Ibrahim Sheikh
1971 – 2024
Plot B-14
Logged: A. Karim, today 14:02. Every change is recorded with who and when; records archive rather than delete, and the whole register exports as CSV any time.
Getting started
From first call to live portal in about a week.
01
Tell us about your cemetery
A 30-minute conversation. We learn your fee structure, burial sections, opening hours, and the forms your staff currently use.
02
We set up your portal
A working tenant within a week. Your branding, your fees, your forms, re-rendered as a PDF that mirrors what staff already verify at the gate.
03
Go live at your own pace
Host it at a subdomain we provide, or embed it on your existing site with one script tag, or point your custom domain at us.
Pricing
The public portal is free. You pay only to run the cemetery.
Families can always find and remember loved ones for free. The flat monthly fee covers the operations layer: the booking diary, plot map, documents and payments your staff use day to day. Every operations plan includes the same features; you’re priced only by the number of plots.

Built with the community
Designed with UK Muslim burial trusts. Shariah-aware payments, debit and BACS only, no interest-bearing instruments.
Frequently asked
Questions cemeteries ask us.
- Is the public portal really free?
- Yes, including memorial pages, search, Sadaqah Jariyah, sharing, family management, and the embed widget. We charge for the operations layer only.
- Why no photos of the deceased on memorial pages?
- It follows traditional Islamic guidance on imagery. It also produces a better product: a memorial built around words, family connections, and the deceased's chosen verses is more enduring than one built around a single photo that ages poorly.
- How do you handle payments?
- Stripe, configured for debit cards and BACS Direct Debit only, with no credit cards and no interest-bearing instalments. We exclude credit funding via Stripe Radar rules.
- What happens to the data if we leave?
- It's yours. You can export the full set of memorial pages, deceased records, bookings, and your plot map at any time. We do not lock anyone in.
- Can we use our own cemetery website AND Dafn Registry?
- Yes, that's the embed widget. One script tag on your existing site mounts the booking flow, the search, or a specific memorial page. Like Stripe Checkout, but for cemetery operations.
- Who reviewed the religious content?
- The Shariah declaration on the booking form, the no-photo policy, the zero-take rate on Sadaqah Jariyah, and other religiously sensitive defaults are reviewed in consultation with the cemetery's own scholars before we go live. We do not assume our defaults are universally correct.
