Established 2009 (led by engineer Abdel Latif Sallaj and the late Dr. Mohammed Sadek Eid), administered by Moncton Muslim Cemetery Inc./Trust. It is a dedicated Muslim burial ground within or adjoining Alderwood Cemetery Ltd in Riverview, so it is recorded here as a Muslim section rather than a standalone all-Muslim cemetery; whether the Muslim grounds are legally a separate cemetery is not stated and is left unconfirmed. The site says 'all Muslims may use this cemetery' - that is an eligibility statement, not a statement of exclusivity. About 300 plots have been purchased to date; total capacity and plots remaining are not stated. Physically in Riverview, NB, immediately across the river from Moncton.
At a glance
Mosques that bury here
These organisations name this cemetery on their own funeral pages. That is confirmation from the masjid, not from the cemetery.
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: whether the grounds are entirely Muslim, 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.
