Assalam Mosque (The Ottawa Islamic Centre)

Janazah & burial services

Downtown Ottawa mosque with one of the city's largest prayer halls. Own site (assalammosque.com) confirms a dedicated janazah contact (Br. Abdirahman, 613-265-9041, 'full janazah service including ghusl, prayer, and burial'). The Ottawa Muslim Cemetery's own site independently lists Assalam as one of five partner mosques offering ghusl, kafan and janaza prayer. Street address and main line came from a business directory (Yellow Pages), not confirmed verbatim on their own site during this check, so overall confidence is medium.

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 for women, by women, Transport of the deceased, 24-hour janazah line. 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.
