Marpole Musalla (New Westminster Islamic Society)

Janazah & burial services

A musalla (prayer space) in the Marpole neighbourhood of Vancouver, operated by the New Westminster Islamic Society (which is a separate, New Westminster-based organisation - out of scope for this Vancouver/Burnaby dataset). The org's own website (nwmis.org) would not render usable content in this session. Phone number is cross-confirmed by two independent sources (OpenStreetMap and muslimlink.ca directory, matching exactly); muslimlink.ca's listing incorrectly tags the city/postal code as New Westminster despite giving this Selkirk St (Marpole/Vancouver) street address - that inconsistency was resolved in favour of the geocoded Vancouver address. No janazah/service details found; needs a phone call to confirm current operations.

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, 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.
