Islamic Association of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon) Inc.

Janazah & burial services

Established 1970; CRA-registered charity and Saskatchewan non-profit, and the anchor Muslim organisation in Saskatoon - the site states the community runs 3 masjids and 2 musallahs with a fourth mosque under construction. Also listed on third-party directories as 'Saskatoon Islamic Centre' at this same Copland Crescent address. The janazah process starts by contacting the IAS Religious Affairs Chair; the funeral page names Woodlawn Cemetery (1502 2nd Ave N) as the burial location and describes transfer by Saskatoon Funeral Home to IAS for ghusl and janazah prayer, then to the cemetery. Eid prayers at Prairieland Park (503 Ruth St W) and taraweeh at Field House Rd. Hosts both the Islamic Arabic Weekend School and Saskatoon Misbah School. Email info@islamiccenter.sk.ca.

What we haven’t confirmed

We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl for women, by women, Kafan (shroud), 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.
