For cemetery trustees & staff
A dignified online presence
for cemeteries
Dafn Registry gives Muslim burial trusts a beautiful public portal, rich memorial pages, and simple operations — without commercialising grief.
Or write to hello@dafnregistry.com and we’ll set it up with you.
How we work
Free public portal first.
Operations when you’re ready.
Every cemetery on Dafn Registry gets a beautifully designed public portal — grave search with transliteration, rich memorial pages, Sadaqah Jariyah, shareable links — at no cost, indefinitely.
When you’re ready to retire the paper burial-booking forms, switch on the operations layer: bookings, payments, slot management, PDF generation, and an admin dashboard.
Embed the portal on your existing site (one script tag) or host it at your own domain. Either way, no migration required.
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.
Interactive cemetery map
See the cemetery in 3D.
We don’t load the map until you ask — saves data, and keeps the page calm.
Burial records that hold up
Every change to every record is logged — who, what, when. Records archive rather than delete. Export everything your trust owns as CSV at any time; the data is yours.

Written by database triggers — staff can’t skip it, software bugs can’t lose it. Export everything as CSV any time.
Slots or queue order — your model
Run timed burial slots, or first-come queue order with a daily cutoff, the way many trusts actually operate. Capacity, cutoffs, and completion deadlines are per-cemetery settings.
- Funeral #1confirmed · family arrived
- Funeral #2confirmed · en route
- Funeral #3confirmed
- Funeral #4draft — awaiting green form
No times promised on the phone — burials run in booking order, the way many trusts already operate. Capacity per day is a setting.
Fees without the spreadsheet
Age bands, residency, grave class, weekend and out-of-hours surcharges — resolved automatically at booking, itemised for the family, and snapshotted so historic bookings keep their historic prices.
Try it: flip the dimensions and watch the total resolve.
| Burial fee (adult) | £1,800 |
| Interment & grave preparation | £1,400 |
| Total payable | £3,200 |
Illustrative numbers. Your own fee schedule drives the real engine — date-ranged, so historic bookings keep historic prices.
What makes us different
Three commitments that shape every screen.
Dignity first
No upsells in the booking flow. No countdown timers. No marketing copy on the bereavement screens. No photos of the deceased on memorial pages — by design, following traditional guidance.
Zero take rate on charity
Sadaqah Jariyah donations flow to the charity in full. We never profit from continuous-charity giving — Stripe processing fees are absorbed by us.
Built with the community
Designed for UK Muslim burial trusts in consultation with the people who run them. Shariah-aware payments (debit + 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 — no credit cards, 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.
