Whitby Muslim Society

Janazah & burial services

Small congregation renting space in a United Church building at 201 Centre St S, Whitby; per its own site, holds Jummah (Friday) prayers only on the 2nd Friday of each month ('NO Regular Salahs'), plus Taraweeh and community events — not a daily-use mosque. May be the same community as, or closely linked to, a Facebook-only page called 'White Oaks Musallah' (~9,500 followers, references Jeffery Street Park/White Oaks Court in Whitby and the same 201 Centre St S address for Eid overflow prayers) — could not confirm whether these are one organization under two names or two separate groups sharing a rented venue; a phone/message check is recommended before treating them as either the same or different entities. No janazah/funeral information published on the site fetched (homepage; the /about page returned a 404).

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.
