Hello, I have the opportunity to move to Qatar with a family member; I am finding little information regarding mortuary or funeral parlor/home operations in this country. I am currently a mortuary science student and would appreciate such information. If anyone knows of such establishments, please post. Thanks.

Thanks. I figured as much about the funeral home part, and yes the Hamad hospital was the only mortuary I could find.

THis is a Muslim country. The vast majority of the population are muslim and must be buried within 24 hours of death - no need for embalming etc. No such thing as funeral homes here - one visits the family at their home, the religious rites take place at the cemetery.

As for non-Muslims, they are the minority and bodies are usually held in the hospital morgue (may be a call for embalming for bodies being repatriated for burial).

Scope for you is limited.
