Funeral Service

The Muslim Society of Guelph manages a reserved section of burial plots located in Woodlawn Memorial Park, Guelph, Ontario, approximately 5 kilometres northeast of the Guelph Muslim Community Centre.

Steps to take when a loved one has passed:

Contact the MSOG Funeral Committee in order to perform the Islamic rites of washing the body and to make burial arrangements in the Muslim Section at the Woodlawn Memorial Park cemetery.

• Choose only one family member or friend to co-ordinate with the Funeral Committee.
  
• You do not need to call any funeral home.
