Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre (Great Mosque of Quebec City)

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.
