Islamic Society of Toronto (Masjid Darussalam)

Janazah & burial services

Cornerstone Sunni mosque for Thorncliffe Park/Flemingdon Park (former Borough of East York) since 1995; moved in 2025 into an expanded building at 20 Overlea Blvd after Metrolinx's Ontario Line construction required demolition of the original 4 Thorncliffe Park Dr site. Its own site estimates roughly 40,000 Muslims live nearby. Runs a Sunday Madrasah, an evening Qur'an programme, full-time Hifz and Alim/Alima programmes, and Tafseer/Islamic Essential Studies; Nikah services offered and the hall is currently not available for rental. No janazah/funeral services were found on the website - call to confirm. Note: a different, unrelated mosque in Etobicoke also uses the "Darussalam" name (darussalamtoronto.com) - do not confuse the two.

What we haven’t confirmed

We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl facility, Ghusl for women, by women, Kafan (shroud), Transport of the deceased and more. 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.
