When the body is ready to be released from the hospital, the funeral home should be authorized by the family to recover it and transport it to the funeral home.

The body should be washed at the funeral home of your choice. Afterward, it will be transported to ICBG for the funeral prayer (Salat al-Janazah).

The ICBG has established arrangements with several funeral homes in Bowling Green, KY, to provide special services, such as space for bathing and preparing the body. You may choose another funeral home; however, the family will assume full responsibility for the services provided and the processes followed. A list of recommended funeral homes and their contact information will be available soon.
