UK burial grounds

Gardens of Peace: What to Check and Who to Ask

Gardens of Peace is a dedicated Muslim burial ground in the UK, run entirely independently of Moments by QR. We have no affiliation with it, no role in its arrangements, and no access to its records. This page exists to point you at the people who can answer, and to help you keep hold of what you are told.

Is Moments by QR connected to Gardens of Peace?

No. There is no partnership, endorsement, agency or commercial relationship of any kind between Moments by QR and Gardens of Peace. Nothing on this page should be read as speaking for the burial ground, and nothing we say alters its rules.

What is verified here, and what is not. The site and timing details below were checked against the burial ground’s own published information on 28 August 2026 and are linked at the foot of this page. Fee amounts, current plot availability, the grave-search procedure and whether anything scannable may be fitted to a grave are not published here (3 open source gaps recorded for this page) — they change without notice, or belong to the burial office alone. Treat everything below as a prompt for your own call to Gardens of Peace, not as a substitute for it.

What only the burial ground can answer

  • Availability, cost and process

    Plot availability, current fees and how a burial is arranged change over time. Only the burial ground's own office can give you the position today.

  • What may be placed on a grave

    Grave-marker policy is set by the burial ground, not by a supplier and not by us. It is the single most common thing families are told wrongly by a third party.

  • Where a specific grave is

    Grave records are held by the burial ground. If you need to locate a relative's plot, the cemetery office is the route — there is no shortcut through a memorial company.

What the burial ground itself publishes

Checked against Gardens of Peace’s own website on 28 August 2026. Operational details are exactly the kind of thing that changes quietly, so confirm anything you are relying on with the burial office.

Where adult burials take place
All adult burials (age 12 and over) take place at the Maylands site, Colchester Rd, Romford RM3 0NZ.
Children's funerals
Children's funerals continue at Elmbridge, 57 Elmbridge Rd, Hainault IG6 3SW.
Visiting hours
All sites: 8am–7pm from April to October, and 8am–5pm from November to March. Gates close 15 minutes before the stated time.
Burial times
Burials take place between 10am and 4pm, except on the days of Eid. The latest burial time is 4pm.
Same-day burials
The cut-off for a same-day booking is 11:30am, subject to a slot being available.
Dealing with the office
The burial ground asks that a family nominates one point of contact. It genuinely helps — it is also the person who should write down the plot reference.
Where the grave is, in writing
The burial form states that the cemetery sends the responsible person a confirmation that includes the exact grave-plot location. That confirmation is the document to keep — it is the answer to a question families ask years later.
Grave markers
Gardens of Peace states that marker production takes roughly 6 to 9 months. Its own page covers re-inking and replacement.
Policies change
The burial ground says its policies can change and should be checked directly. That instruction is theirs, and we repeat it rather than working around it.

Two things we deliberately do not restate. Fees — the burial ground publishes a current fee document and burial form on its own burial forms and fees page (the current document there is the 2026 fee sheet, checked 28 August 2026), and a figure copied onto a third-party page is the one a family later finds was out of date. What we can say is structural: payment is required in full before the burial, and there is no additional charge for a weekend or bank-holiday burial, though late-burial charges may apply. Grave markers — Gardens of Peace publishes its own grave-marker information. It does not tell you whether a scannable plaque is allowed, and we will not read one into the other. That question goes to the burial office in writing.

How do you find a grave at a Muslim burial ground?

Through the burial ground's own records. Contact the cemetery office with the person's full name, the approximate date of burial and the name of whoever arranged it. Moments by QR does not hold burial records, does not operate a grave finder, and cannot look a plot up for you.

What we would say, gently, is this: once you have the plot reference, write it down somewhere the whole family can reach. The commonest reason a grandchild cannot find a grave is not that the record was lost by the cemetery — it is that the one relative who knew the section and plot number never wrote it anywhere. How families keep that detail is covered in preserving memories after a death.

Questions worth putting to the cemetery office

These apply to any UK burial ground, Gardens of Peace included. Ask in writing where you can, and keep the reply — it is the document that settles disagreements later.

  • Is there current availability, and what is the total cost including any later charges?
  • What is the policy on grave markers, inscriptions and anything fitted to a grave?
  • Who in the family is recorded as having authority over the plot?
  • How is the plot reference recorded, and how can a relative find it years later?
  • Are there set visiting arrangements, and do they differ on particular days?
  • If something is later added to the grave, who must approve it and in what form?

The general position on fitting anything to a grave — including a scannable plaque — is set out in cemetery permission. We make no claim about what any particular ground permits.
