In orthodox Islamic belief, it is preferred to be buried in the open. Thus, within this necropolis, in addition to the 40 domed mausoleums, are found 133 graves located in the open – for many of which funerary mosques were built adjacent to the burial for the families to pray for and honour the person buried. 

The funerary mosques have a similar design, being rectangular structures with arcaded eastern walls. Inside, they are typically divided into three bays, each with a shallow/flat dome adorned with arched niches and lime stucco motifs. The facade of these mosques are characterized by ornate parapets, multi-tiered corner parapet minarets. These minarets are occasionally topped by smaller domes with stucco decorations at the shaft. 

Though not meant for congregational prayer, some of these have begun to be used by congregations in the past decade – thus altering the historic character of the structures.
