Learn about our mission, values, and the community we serve
The Luton Bangladeshi Muslim Funeral Trust (LBMFT) was established to serve the Bangladeshi Muslim community in Luton and the surrounding areas. Born from the understanding that funeral expenses can place a significant financial burden on families during their most difficult times, LBMFT was founded on the principle of collective support and shared responsibility.
Our trust operates as a community-led organisation, managed by dedicated volunteers who share a common commitment to ensuring that every member of our community receives a dignified farewell in accordance with Islamic teachings and traditions.
Through regular membership contributions, we maintain a fund that provides financial assistance for funeral costs, repatriation services, and related expenses. This collective approach means that no family has to face the burden of funeral costs alone.
To provide comprehensive funeral support services to the Bangladeshi Muslim community in Luton, ensuring every family receives compassionate assistance and financial support during bereavement, while upholding Islamic values and traditions.
To be the trusted pillar of support for every Bangladeshi Muslim family in Luton, creating a unified community where no family faces the burden of funeral arrangements alone, and where every individual receives a dignified farewell.
