Providing a dignified final resting place for the Muslim community in Ottawa-Gatineau, following Islamic traditions with compassion and care.
The Ottawa Muslim Cemetery (OMC) was established to serve the growing Muslim community in the Ottawa-Gatineau region by providing a burial space that follows Islamic funeral rites.
Founded as a not-for-profit, charitable organization (Charitable Registration No. 894375187RR0001), OMC was a vision that took shape in 1994 when efforts began to establish a Muslim cemetery in the Nation’s Capital. After years of dedicated fundraising and perseverance, a suitable plot of land was acquired in 2005, and by 2008, the cemetery obtained its official license.
Today, OMC stands as a Muslim-owned and operated cemetery, ensuring that generations of families can be laid to rest in accordance with Islamic principles.
The Ottawa Muslim Cemetery (OMC) is dedicated to serving the Muslim community by ensuring proper Islamic burial practices are observed with respect, dignity, and adherence to religious principles.
