🌙 Expertise for Muslim and Hindu Families

Recognizing Middlesex County's prominent, diverse demographics, we are proficient in crafting memorials that comply with the distinct requirements of Muslim and Hindu traditions:

• Islamic Memorials: We understand the need for specific, simple grave markers and orientation toward Mecca (Qibla). We work seamlessly with the local Muslim community on funeral planning, including arrangements through prominent Middlesex-based centers such as the Islamic Society of Central Jersey (ISCJ) in Monmouth Junction, the Muslim Community of New Jersey (MCNJ) in Fords, and the Islamic Center of Old Bridge (ICOB). These local worship centers coordinate with the regional Muslim cemeteries serving Central NJ (such as Jersey State Memorial Park and Marlboro Muslim Memorial) for burial services and plot purchases.



• Hindu Memorials: We are experienced in creating monuments that honor Hindu customs, incorporating traditional symbols such as lotus flowers, Om signs, and deities, as well as inscriptions in Sanskrit or regional languages. We are familiar with the funeral practices of the region's most prominent Hindu communities, including those served by the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Edison, the Shree Swaminarayan Temple (ISSO) in Piscataway, and the Vedic Heritage, Inc. Temple in South Brunswick.
