Markaz Ul Islam (Fort McMurray Islamic Centre)

Janazah & burial services

Founded 1984; the main Islamic centre for Fort McMurray and the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, and a registered Canadian charity. The Uptown facility opened in 2018 with worship halls, classrooms, gym and daycare. Funeral support is reached on the main line by selecting the 'Funeral Support' option; ghusl support depends on trained community members being available.

Each line below is either confirmed from the organisation’s own material or marked as not confirmed. We publish the gaps rather than guess at them.

What we haven’t confirmed

We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl for women, by women, Kafan (shroud), Transport of the deceased, 24-hour janazah line. 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.
