Conventional Arbor Memorial cemetery in north Ajax used by GTA mosques for Muslim burials. Whether it has a designated Muslim section could NOT be confirmed - the operator's own site is JavaScript-only and unreadable, and neither mosque source states it. Pickering Islamic Centre's published funeral price list quotes an adult grave here at $16,950.00 (HST incl.), by far the most expensive of the cemeteries it uses. PHONE UNCONFIRMED - call before relying on this listing.
At a glance
Arranging a burial here
- Contact the masjid handling the janazah first — most cemeteries deal with the funeral provider rather than the family directly.
- Ask what the plot costs and, separately, what opening and closing the grave costs. They are almost always billed apart, and the second surprises people.
- Ask whether the section faces qiblah and what markers are permitted.
- See what a Muslim burial costs across Canada before you commit — plot prices vary more than fourfold between cities.
What we haven’t confirmed
We could not establish: whether there is a designated Muslim section, size, whether plots are available. Those are published as gaps rather than filled with a plausible guess. If you know the answer — especially if you are from this organisation — tell us and we will verify and update the listing.
Planning ahead, rather than in a crisis?
The two things a funeral coordinator asks a family for are the burial wishes and the will. Recording where your will is kept and working out the inheritance shares now spares your family both questions at the worst possible moment.
