Burial Sites

Al Mowarah committee of the Islamic Center of Belmont was able to designate two organizations that can handle the need of Burial Sites for our community. Skylawn Memorial Park is close by and has a designated area for Muslim people. While the second organization is the Five Pillars Farm which has two cemeteries one of them is close by in Hayward. The other cemetery is in Livermore ( about 65 miles from the Belmont center ). The entire Livermore cemetery is for Muslim people only. All the detailed information is listed below, but the pricing is reflecting what they are offering during the preparation of this document and may be changed in the future without any notice.
