The answer

The manufacturing of planks used to seal the cracks in a grave where the deceased is placed is a charity for which its doer will be rewarded, but it is not an ongoing charity ( jariyah). An ongoing charity is an endowment (waqf) whose principal is preserved and whose benefits are made available. If the donations for manufacturing these planks are designated for a specific village cemetery, it is not permissible to spend them on anything else or to give them as charity without the donors' permission.
