oh i am very sorry to hear that…inna nillaaahii wa inna ilaihi raajeoon…May Allah bless his soul and make the highest echelons of Jannat his final abode. aameen.
no, its NOT un-islamic. i think barring the western world, where its against the law to bury without a casket, its the tradition to bury wrapped in just a shroud. i was more curious than anything else.**
