After the release lecture, the body was taken to the grave that had been dug and burial using a coffin that had been given soil in the coffin.
“Now, what is quite surprising is that the depth of the grave is relatively shallow because it is about one meter deep. The width itself is 1 meter; the length certainly corresponds to the length of the corpse. If in our place in the village, according to fiqh information, its depth is in Javanese (sak dedek sak pengawe), aka as deep as people descend into the grave. But this is not the case, only one meter,” explained Ustaz Badrus in his note.
He also explained that the landfill also alternated with shovels, little by little and kept changing people. After the burial, there was another post-funeral lecture, namely talqin, which lasted for 15 minutes and ended with the corpse’s prayer handed over to Ustaz Badrus.

According to Ustaz Badrus, the condition of his tomb is almost the same as in Indonesia, namely with a varied headstone, but the average size is large. The body’s position is mentioned as the belief of the Javanese Surinamese people. Some are still facing ngulon (West), so the direction of his tomb is facing his head in the North. As for those who believe in facing ngetan (East), then head on to the South.
“This is the funeral process in Suriname. May the deceased get mercy from Allah Almighty, be forgiven for all his sins, and have the best place by His side. Amen, Allahumma amen,” concluded Ustaz Badrus. (Dompet Dhuafa/Ustaz Badrussalim/Awalia R)
