There is no religious impediment for a non-Muslim to enter a Muslim cemetery to attend a Muslim's funeral, provided that Muslims are the ones managing the funeral. Nor is there any objection to their presence during the washing or shrouding of the deceased, such as by assisting with bringing water or similar tasks.
