Fallen NYPD Officer Didarul Islam Laid to Rest in Historic New Jersey Cemetery
PoriPurno News Desk | August 14, 2025
Amid solemn prayers and heartfelt tributes, slain NYPD officer Didarul Islam was laid to rest at Laurel Grove Cemetery in New Jersey, a serene, historic resting place where people from diverse faiths and ethnicities have been buried since the mid-1800s.
The sprawling cemetery, known for its quiet dignity, is home to sections reserved by various communities so their loved ones can be buried among those who share their cultural and religious traditions. The Bangladeshi Muslim community also has its own dedicated plots here — and it is in this sacred ground that Officer Didarul now rests, honored not just as a law enforcement officer, but as a symbol of courage and sacrifice.
For many Bangladeshi expatriates, Laurel Grove is more than a cemetery — it is a place deeply tied to personal history. One long-time community member recalled burying his mother there in 2012 and planting two trees by her grave, one by him and one by his younger brother. Despite years of maintenance and the removal of many other trees, these two have been spared, perhaps out of silent respect from the cemetery’s caretakers, or perhaps out of recognition of the quiet love they represent.
Now, alongside those personal memories, another grave will draw visitors — the final resting place of Officer Didarul Islam. His death in the line of duty was not only a personal loss to his family but a moment of collective mourning for the Bangladeshi-American community and for all who value service and sacrifice.
“Didarul was not just a police officer,” said one mourner. “He embodied duty, courage, and honor. His sacrifice has left us with a debt — the responsibility to uphold the values he stood for.”
