Janazah & burial services
The main janazah provider in Windsor. Has its own facility to store, wash (ghusl) and prepare the body in compliance with Islamic principles, and is licensed by the Bereavement Authority of Ontario (Licence # TSR-1572). Also operates the WIA Centre at 2555 McKay Avenue and runs the WIA Academy education programs. Note the 24-hour flag is false because the site explicitly states coordinators are reachable 8am-11pm only. An older cached listing named a different third coordinator (Walid Hamed, 519-999-4424) - the three numbers recorded here are the ones currently published. The site does not name which cemetery WIA buries at, so cemeteries_used is deliberately empty - ask the coordinators.
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.
Published rates: transportation $1,018 + HST, body washing $199 + HST, casket box $199 + HST - total $1,416 + HST. Free for children under 12. Service beyond 40 km adds $1.25/km. Includes complimentary booking of the WIA Centre for one day for visitation. The site's FAQ adds that, as of June 2024, the average TOTAL cost of a burial including the plot is $6,300-$7,000, subject to change.
What we haven’t confirmed
We could not establish: Ghusl for women, by women. 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.
