A general, all-faiths cemetery in Woodbridge (Vaughan) with a Muslim section, not a Muslim cemetery. OPERATOR IDENTIFIED 2026-08-16: it is owned and operated by Arbor Memorial Inc., and its official page is arbormemorial.ca/en/glenview.html - this replaces the previous 'no official website or phone could be confirmed' gap. The operator's own site publishes the address as 7541 Hwy 50, Woodbridge, ON L4H 4W7 (matching what the mosques listed) and the cemetery office number as 905-851-0668 for both at-need ('has someone passed?') and general inquiries; the same number is independently printed on TARIC Islamic Centre's funeral page and on the Etobicoke Muslim Community Organization's burial-plots page. Branch manager listed as Christina Fredson. MUSLIM SECTION CONFIRMED: TARIC Islamic Centre's funeral coordination page lists Glenview Memorial Gardens by name and address under the explicit heading 'Some cemeteries with Muslim sections'. Madinah Masjid's funeral services page also lists it among the cemeteries it uses, and the Etobicoke Muslim Community Organization tells families to call 'Glenview Memorial cemetery' to assign a grave location and authorise opening and closing. all_muslim is therefore recorded as false: a Muslim SECTION within a larger cemetery necessarily means the grounds are not exclusively Muslim, and Arbor Memorial markets the site to families of every faith. ACRES AND PLOT AVAILABILITY REMAIN UNCONFIRMED - CALL 905-851-0668: the operator publishes no acreage figure and no statement about whether plots remain for sale, and in particular says nothing about availability in the Muslim section specifically, which is the only thing a Muslim family actually needs to know. A widely-repeated '69 acres' figure circulates on wiki-style sites; it is not published by Arbor Memorial and is deliberately not recorded here. NOTE FOR THE DIRECTORY BUILD: TARIC Islamic Centre (Toronto) and Madinah Masjid (Toronto) both name this cemetery on their own funeral pages, but the 'Mosques that bury here' block only matches mosques in the same city_slug, and this cemetery is city_slug 'vaughan', so those links will not appear automatically. Adding 'Glenview Memorial Gardens' to those two mosques' janazah.cemeteries_used lists would not surface it either until that same-city restriction is relaxed.

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

  1. Contact the masjid handling the janazah first — most cemeteries deal with the funeral provider rather than the family directly.
  2. 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.
  3. Ask whether the section faces qiblah and what markers are permitted.
  4. 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.
