A commercial cemetery on the Hamilton mountain escarpment south of Stoney Creek, operated by Arbor Memorial; address, phone and locality are taken from the structured data published on Arbor's own branch page. It is a general cemetery serving all faiths, so all_muslim is false. Muslim section: the cemetery has a section named "Muslim Gardens" - the Ontario Genealogical Society's Hamilton Branch publishes a monument transcription of it under the title "Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens: Muslim Gardens and Adult Singles" in its Binbrook Township cemeteries series. Two Shia mosques already in this directory name Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens on their own funeral pages as a cemetery they bury at: the Islamic Shia Ithna-Asheri Jamaat of Toronto (Jaffari Community Centre, Thornhill) and Masumeen Islamic Centre (Brampton), both of which list it alongside North York Cemetery, Al Hussain Foundation Cemetery and Meadowvale Cemetery. CAUTION: the section's existence rests on a genealogical-society transcription title plus mosque usage, not on a statement by the operator - Arbor's own page is JavaScript-only and says nothing about faith sections. Section size, plot availability, and whether graves face qiblah are NOT sourced. NOT to be confused with Rawdat al-Salam / Chapel Hill in Orlando, Florida, an unrelated cemetery with a similar name.
At a glance
Mosques that bury here
These organisations name this cemetery on their own funeral pages. That is confirmation from the masjid, not from the cemetery.
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: size, whether plots are available. 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.
