Funeral/Janaza Services

We’re dedicated in becoming a resource to families in their toughest time. Its the most heartbreaking moments in your life is to bid farewell to someone you love or care for. As Muslims, we are taught to trust Allah’s (S.W.T.) will and to pray for mercy and forgiveness for the deceased. To assist you during these difficult times, the Barrie Mosque  furnishes the requisite facilities and a caring team of volunteers who strive to render this transition as smooth as possible.  You can avail of this service for a nominal fee, which help in meeting our expenses.

What should I do if the need arises?

Call us at 2262010624 or 7059997176. You will be directed to the Funeral Committee. The committee members will then take care of all the related services. The entire process takes time and your presence in the office may be necessary. We, therefore, suggest that the office be contacted in advance in instances where death is expected. For any further questions, please contact our office.
