Key takeaway
Families often want to know which cemetery may be relevant, to which city relatives should be directed, and how to avoid travelling without minimal information. This directory provides useful information, but it does not replace local confirmation.
At this stage, the cross-checked public sources mainly make it possible to identify cemeteries to consider in Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier and Marrakech. For operational details, the best practice remains a local confirmation on the day itself or the day before.
- Information intentionally kept sober and easy to verify.
- No promise of availability that has not been checked.
- Sources are cited whenever a cemetery is mentioned.
How to use this directory
-
01
1. First check whether the family already knows which area or grave is concerned
Not every case file depends on the same cemetery. The municipality, the family, the existing grave and local practices often guide the choice.
-
02
2. Then confirm locally the access, availability, practices and rules currently in force
The directory provides a first level of information. Access, opening hours and applicable handling rules then need to be confirmed with the competent local contacts.

3. Do not confuse a geographical reference point with burial validation
Identifying a useful place does not yet mean that the case file is validated to organize the burial there.
If the family is at a distance
For relatives living abroad, this mostly makes it possible to speak about the same place, reduce mistakes between cities or districts and prepare local validations by the right contact on site.
Why caution is essential
Questions relating to cemeteries, burial and availability change over time and depend heavily on local authorities. General guidance must therefore always be distinguished from operational validation.
| Cemetery | City | What the consulted sources allow us to say | Point de vigilance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Ghofrane | Casablanca | The city council approved in 2024 a new agreement for the management, equipment, monitoring and cleanliness of this cemetery. | Confirm on site which process applies and the current practical conditions. |
| Errahma | Casablanca | This cemetery is cited among the main existing cemeteries in local publications about funeral management in Casablanca and has been mentioned during recent burial operations. | Do not infer availability or access rules from the press alone. |
| Al Ihsane | Mediouna / outskirts of Casablanca | The Casablanca-Settat region officially presents a development and management project for Al-Ihsane cemetery. | Confirm the actual opening status and the conditions of use at the time of need. |
| Achouhada Cemetery | Rabat | Achouhada Cemetery is regularly cited in public sources and local media when burials in Rabat are discussed. | Check the practical conditions and the competent contact locally. |
| Sidi Amar Cemetery | Tanger | Local publications and public mapping sources identify it among Tangier's known cemeteries. | Confirm locally the access, opening hours and the applicable process. |
| Bab Aylan Cemetery | Marrakech | This historic cemetery is regularly cited in local sources in Marrakech. | Do not assume burial is possible without local validation of the case file. |
