We also provide religious educational material, teach Quran, supply shrouds for Islamic burial, etc.

The most sensitive issue B.R.F. deals with is the passing of a loved one. As an organization, we are here to assist grieving families as well as what steps the families need to take upon the demise of their loved one.
