This is the office number. If it is out of hours, see other providers in North York, several of which answer around the clock.
Janazah & burial services
Masjid in the Jane-Finch/Driftwood area run by the Zanzibar Canadian Association (ZANCANA), serving the Swahili-speaking East African community. Janazah support is coordinated through a volunteer committee reachable via several named members' personal cellphones published on zancana.org (Jamal Jiddawy 647-290-8652, Mohammed Hamdan 416-732-7505, Feisal Amour 647-667-2337, Salim Seif 416-856-4513, Bishara Al Masroori 647-866-4312) rather than one dedicated office line, so no single janazah_phone was recorded — deliberately left null per spec rather than guessing which number to feature.
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.
Runs a member-funded 'Janazah Support System', not a walk-in fee-for-service model: $100 one-time registration, $50 minimum account balance, plus $25 contribution per member each time a Janazah occurs. Open to Muslim adults resident in Canada (spouse/dependents under 25/parents at same address covered).
What we haven’t confirmed
We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl facility, Ghusl for women, by women, Kafan (shroud), Transport of the deceased and more. 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.
