Large Burnaby cemetery and funeral home (Dignity Memorial). The BC Muslim Association's own funeral page names Ocean View as one of three Lower Mainland cemeteries where it owns burial plots for the Muslim community, which is the basis for the Muslim-section flag here. Note the cemetery's own page describes accommodations for several cultural and faith communities but does NOT itself mention an Islamic section - so confirm the exact section and current availability with BCMA (funeral hotline 604-727-8001) or the cemetery office before relying on it.
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: 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.
