Janazah & burial services

IANS (org founded 1966; current Dartmouth mosque building dates to 1971) also administers masjids in Pictou County and Truro, NS, and maintains the community's Islamic cemetery in Truro (outside our 4-city scope, not created as a separate entity here). Phone number is consistent across multiple independent third-party directories but was not found explicitly stated on the org's own site pages fetched.

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.

Fees

IANS does not charge for burial services; a one-time donation is requested from the family to cover out-of-pocket costs paid to outside agencies (e.g. headstones via a DeMone Monuments partnership). Families arrange body transport via a funeral home; site notes IANS may assist but does not itself provide transport, so left null/ambiguous.

What we haven’t confirmed

We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl for women, by women, 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.
