Islamic Shia Ithna-Asheri Jamaat of Toronto (Jaffari Community Centre)

Janazah & burial services

Major Shia Ithna-Asheri (Twelver) community centre for the GTA, built 9000 Bathurst St (Thornhill side of the Vaughan/Markham line). Its Jaffari Funeral Services Committee (est. 2008) is a licensed Bereavement Authority of Ontario operator (Type: TSO Restricted, License XX-1518) with a men's and a ladies' committee handling ghusl, kafan, and burial-permit coordination; call 1-855-JAFFARI (523-3274, Mukhi/Director) or 647-786-1934 (JFSC Chairman Mubarak Mamdani) when a death occurs, or email funeral@jaffari.org. The funeral page references a cemetery list that did not render in this session's fetch of jaffari.org (site blocks direct WebFetch; content retrieved via a text-proxy) — phone to confirm which cemeteries are used. Also runs affiliated weekend madressa programs (Al-Muntadhir Study Centre) per third-party listings. The Jaffari Funeral Services page lists four cemeteries families may choose from: North York Cemetery (101 Senlac Rd), Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, Al Hussain Foundation Cemetery and Meadowvale Cemetery (Brampton).

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, Transport of the deceased, Janazah prayer, 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.
