Ummah Foundation of Durham

Janazah & burial services

Registered charity (founded 2013) serving Durham Region's Muslim community; runs a Full-Time Hifz class, a Full-Time (English-medium) Aalim class, an Evening Maktab, and a summer camp, with a weekly class schedule (After Fajr, After Asr, Friday nights). The org's own site describes a large permanent complex (capacity 500 men / 350 women, six-acre site, ~35,000 sq ft, including a planned 'Funeral Facility') that appeared to still be in construction/site-plan-approval stages on the pages fetched — it is unclear whether current programs run from a completed building at this address or an interim space, and no janazah/funeral service details beyond the planned facility were found. Recommend a phone call to confirm current operating status and whether funeral/janazah services are actually offered today.

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.
