The mosque's funeral page names TWO numbers as the first point of contact for funeral arrangements - 902-880-7289 and 902-402-0473 - with 902-266-6959 listed as a backup contact. Try both first-contact numbers before the backup. The page states the service is 'available at all times an essential service' but does not designate any line as a 24-hour line. The coordinator arranges transfer, ghusl, kafan and the cemetery.

What we haven’t confirmed

We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, 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.
