“Whoever digs a grave for a deceased person and buries him, will receive the reward of giving him a place to reside in until the Day of Judgment.”

(Saheeh al-Targheeb 3492 – Graded Saheeh by Al-Albaani)

Greater Philadelphia Charitable Organization (GPCO), Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2022. In a world where compassion and service to others are key to building a stronger society, non-profit organizations play a vital role. Among these, Islamic non-profit organizations stand out, grounded in the principles of charity, community service, and care for the future.

Our organization believes that a strong, compassionate community is built on helping one another, regardless of background. Every initiative, from providing low-cost burial and funeral services to the Muslims living in Greater Philadelphia PA to providing islamic educational programs for childern, in our newly created mosque – a house of worship that is open to all, is a step towards creating a better tomorrow

Currently, Greater Philadelphia Charitable Organization manages Al Andalus mosque and provides burial service including land. This does not include funeral home charges. However, GPCO’s goal is to eventually establish and maintain a funeral home as well so that the overall cost of burying your loved ones can be affordable. We do NOT offer any pre-paid burial plots at the moment.
