Literature burial in Edinburgh
A dignified, postal burial service for Qurans, religious books, and prayer material, serving Edinburgh and the surrounding area. Weigh, post, and we'll handle the rest.
Serving the Edinburgh community
Edinburgh's Muslim community is smaller than Glasgow's, around 3% of the city, with Edinburgh Central Mosque near the University as its best-known masjid and a large international student population.
Why Edinburgh families use the service
Students leaving Edinburgh at the end of term are a common source of Qurans and Islamic books that need respectful disposal. Scottish postcodes pay the same per-kg rate as England. Our postal service covers every UK postcode at the same per-kg rate, and parcels travel Royal Mail Tracked 48 to our partnered Muslim cemetery.
Local cemeteries and drop-off context
Local cemeteries with Muslim sections handle human burials, not literature, and most masajid no longer have space to bury books on site. For Qurans and Islamic books, a dedicated postal burial service is usually the simplest respectful route.

Frequently asked questions — Edinburgh
How do I dispose of an old Quran in Edinburgh?
Weigh it, see your price on our calculator, pay online and post it from any EH postcode or Post Office in Edinburgh. We wrap it and bury it at a partnered Muslim cemetery, so it is never burned, recycled or put in household waste.
Can a Edinburgh mosque or school send a large amount?
Yes. Masajid, madrasahs and Islamic schools can send several boxes in one trackable shipment, or ask us about a pallet collection (typically 3–5 working days' notice in England). Contact us with your postcode and rough volume.
