General Background: Funeral care in Muslim communities is a fardhu kifayah obligation requiring religious understanding, technical competence, and community readiness. Specific Background: Muhammadiyah cadres and mosque administrators in Ranting Ngemplak, Tulangan, Sidoarjo, faced limited capacity in leading Islamic funeral care procedures, while the service still depended on a small number of religious figures. Knowledge Gap: Structured cadre development for funeral care at the branch level remained limited, particularly through a standardized Manhaj Tarjih Muhammadiyah based training model connected to SDGs 3. Aims: This community service program aimed to strengthen the competence of Muhammadiyah cadres and mosque administrators in safe, dignified, and sharia compliant funeral care. Results: The participatory experiential learning program involved 45 participants through Focus Group Discussion, interactive lectures, demonstrations, leadership simulations, and soft skill workshops. Participant understanding increased from an average pre test score of 60 to 80, a training module based on Manhaj Tarjih Muhammadiyah was prepared, a Funeral Care Cadre Team for Ranting Ngemplak was formed, and regular studies were organized for program sustainability. Novelty: The program integrates Islamic jurisprudence, practical simulation, leadership training, and SDGs 3 oriented community health service. Implications: This model can strengthen community based health readiness, support bereaved families, and be replicated in other Muhammadiyah branches.
