Janazah & burial services

Serves Orleans/Cumberland (east Ottawa). CAUTION: the funeral contact numbers on their own site are two named individual volunteers (Tayyab Muhammad 613-277-4423, Shahbaz Rauf 613-882-3301), not an office line — these could go stale if the volunteers change; worth confirming by phone.

What we haven’t confirmed

We could not establish: Ghusl for women, by women, 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.
