The centre publishes an emergency page for deaths, dying persons, hospitalisations and facility emergencies. It lists a named volunteer's work line (418-877-6318) plus additional home numbers for two named volunteers, and the CCIQ voicemail (418-683-1329). The page asks that these numbers not be used for anything other than those emergencies. No 24-hour availability is stated. Only the work line and the main voicemail are reproduced here; the remaining personal numbers are on the CCIQ emergency page. The coordinator arranges transfer, ghusl, kafan and the cemetery.
Prayer times at Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre (Great Mosque of Quebec City)
Worked out from this masjid’s coordinates for today’s date. They are not Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre (Great Mosque of Quebec City)’s announced jamaa‘ah times — those are set by the masjid and usually differ. Check cciq.org for the jamaa‘ah timetable.

These are calculated times, not Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre (Great Mosque of Quebec City)’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 (418) 683-1329.
Janazah & burial services
French name: Centre Culturel Islamique de Quebec (CCIQ). Administers the Grande Mosquee de Quebec in the Sainte-Foy district - the mosque attacked in the January 2017 shooting - and is the principal Muslim organisation in Quebec City. Publishes prayer times for several locations (Grande Mosquee de Quebec, An-Nour, Charlesbourg, Portneuf), suggesting it serves more than one prayer space. Lists 'service funeraire' among its services and an emergency line for deaths, and operates an Ecole coranique and an 'Ecole Salam', plus the Conseil de la femme musulmane de Quebec. The specific funeral components (ghusl, kafan, transport) and the cemetery used are NOT stated on the site and need a phone call.
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.
