Describes itself on its own site as the only all-Muslim cemetery in the Greater Toronto Area and the first Sunni-Shia Muslim cemetery in the GTA; 36-acre landscaped site, first burial May 2012, almost 1,500 people buried and over 15,000 graves purchased for future planning. Named as a burial destination on the funeral pages of TARIC Islamic Centre and Madinah Masjid. NOTE: TARIC's page lists a different number for TMCC (416-931-1339) than TMCC's own site (416-829-TMCC / 416-829-8622); the number recorded here is the one published by the cemetery itself.
At a glance
Arranging a burial here
- Contact the masjid handling the janazah first — most cemeteries deal with the funeral provider rather than the family directly.
- Ask what the plot costs and, separately, what opening and closing the grave costs. They are almost always billed apart, and the second surprises people.
- Ask whether the section faces qiblah and what markers are permitted.
- See what a Muslim burial costs across Canada before you commit — plot prices vary more than fourfold between cities.
What we haven’t confirmed
We could not establish: whether there is a designated Muslim section. 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.
