How often

Payment is processed by Stripe. Debit cards and BACS Direct Debit only — no credit, no interest-bearing instruments. Your full contribution reaches the cemetery — a small card-processing fee (about 1.5% + 20p) is itemised at checkout so it never comes out of their share. The platform takes nothing.

Flowers and remembrance

Order flowers to be placed at Omar’s grave on a specific date — Eid, anniversary of passing, or any day that matters. The cemetery places the flowers and emails you a photo of the grave.
