Prayer times at Masjid Bilal (Islamic Society of Cumberland)
Worked out from this masjid’s coordinates for today’s date. They are not Masjid Bilal (Islamic Society of Cumberland)’s announced jamaa‘ah times — those are set by the masjid and usually differ. Check masjidbilal.org for the jamaa‘ah timetable.
Today
| Prayer | Begins |

These are calculated times, not Masjid Bilal (Islamic Society of Cumberland)’s jamaa‘ah times. They are worked out in your browser from this masjid’s own coordinates and today’s date, using the ISNA convention — the same arithmetic a printed timetable uses. What a masjid announces is something else: iqamah is set by the masjid, usually a chosen number of minutes after the prayer begins, and many hold it at a fixed clock time for weeks at a stretch. So the two will not match, and they are not meant to. For the times the congregation actually prays, check the masjid’s own site or phone (613) 841-0786.

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. Street address corroborated by muslimlink.ca and the City of Ottawa Doors Open listing, not stated verbatim on masjidbilal.org itself.
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.
No fixed fees; donations encouraged. Site estimates ~$1,000 total for pickup, transport, washing, casket, shroud and storage. City of Ottawa's Essential Health and Social Supports (EHSS) program may assist eligible low-income residents (apply via 311).

Masjid Bilal which was established in 1993 to provide the Muslim community of Orleans with resources to meet religious and social needs with the objective of establishing a better relationship with the larger Canadian society.'

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.
