Masjid Vaughan

Janazah & burial services

A community project of the Risalah Foundation (Canadian registered charity No. 809028954RR0001), opened April 15 2018 in a heritage building. Janaza page describes 'multi-institutional coordination and logistics,' death registration, coffin purchase, refrigerated transportation, cemetery coordination/plot purchase, ghusl/kafan, funeral prayer, and hosting family/non-Muslim guests at the masjid; requests are taken via an online form (mvjanaza-request.paperform.co) rather than a published phone line. Runs the Muslim Family Academy (weekend, ages 5-19) and afterschool/full-time Hifz diploma programs.

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 for women, by women, Kafan (shroud), 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.
