A dedicated Muslim section inside the Magnus Poirier / Cimetiere de Laval grounds on chemin du Bas Saint-Francois, and the main alternative to the Islamic Cemetery of Quebec for Montreal-area families. Also referred to as the Cimetiere Musulman de Montreal and the Cimetiere musulman de Laval; the associated Muslim funeral operator is Dar Al Imane / Centre funeraire musulman de Montreal, whose funeral home is at 6520 rue St-Denis, Montreal H2S 2R9. NEEDS VERIFICATION: both the Magnus Poirier partner page and Dar Al Imane's own site (centrefmm.com) returned HTTP 403 to automated fetches, so this entry rests on the Association de la Sepulture Musulmane du Quebec listing. A third-party page reports the section was established in 2015 - unconfirmed. Size, plot availability and cemetery-specific pricing all need a phone call. Note that a second Muslim funeral operator, Dar Al Haq (Centre Funeraire Musulman, 9101 boulevard Louis-H.-La Fontaine, Anjou, 1-866-932-0219), lists a different Laval site among its Muslim cemeteries - the Cimetiere-jardin et complexe funeraire de Laval at 2500 avenue des Perron, Laval H7J 1G5 - so Laval appears to have more than one Magnus Poirier-group location used for Muslim burials.
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.
