Although the cemetery had been partially opened earlier this month following the completion of the ground floor, full funeral services had not been conducted during this time due to ongoing work.

Aa Sahara Cemetery had served as the primary location for funerals in Male’ until its closure last May. Since then, funeral services for the deceased in Male’ have been conducted at Hulhumale’ Cemetery.
