Pioneer Mosque (St. Vital Mosque)

Janazah & burial services

Operated by the Manitoba Islamic Association and described on the MIA site as "the historical first mosque in Manitoba", open for all five daily prayers and Jumu'ah, with a large basement and kitchen used for classes and small functions. MIA lists it under both "Pioneer Mosque" and "St. Vital Mosque"; no separate phone number is published, and MIA's weekend Qur'an and Arabic/Islamic studies classes also run here.

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.
