Ismaili Centre, Toronto (Jamatkhana)

Janazah & burial services

Shia Ismaili Jama'at Khana (place of worship) in the Don Mills area, opened 2014, the sixth Ismaili Centre in the world, sharing a landscaped park with the adjacent Aga Khan Museum. The community's official site (the.ismaili) is heavily JavaScript-rendered and would not load its contact/address content for this session's fetch tools, so address is sourced from Wikipedia (third-party) and phone from a Yellow Pages business listing — NOT confirmed on the Jamat's own site this session, hence medium confidence despite this being a major, unambiguous institution. Ismaili Jamatkhanas typically serve registered Jamati members and arrange janazah through community/Jamati institutions rather than a public-facing funeral line; nothing about janazah specifics was found. The Aga Khan Council for Ontario (an administrative body, phone 416-492-9503 per Yellow Pages, North York) is a related governance office, not itself a place of prayer, so not entered separately.

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.

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.
