Az-Zahraa Islamic Centre

Janazah & burial services

Shia Ithna'ashari mosque, operating under 'The Shia Muslim Community of British Columbia' (BN 133231571RR0001). Has an unusually extensive dedicated funeral-services section on its site covering ghusl, kafan, burial arrangement, and Shia-specific rites (Namaz-e-Wahshat, Namaz-e-Hadiyat Mayyat). On death: notify the Funeral Committee, who arrange transport of the body to the Imambargha, ghusl and kafan, and call the cemetery to arrange burial. Az-Zahraa Islamic Academy (K-9 day school) operates at the same address - separate entity in this dataset.

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, 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.
