Shroud sets
The shroud is usually made of white cotton. In common practice it has three pieces for men and five for women, adding a head covering and a chest cloth.
Municipal washing facilities often provide the shroud. If the family wishes to use its own, we supply it.
Coffins
In Muslim burials in Turkey the deceased is not buried in a coffin. Coffins are used to carry the deceased and for intercity transport. International air transport requires a coffin lined with zinc and sealed after embalming.
