Why Donate

Why your donation matters

The Ottawa Muslim Cemetery is a non-profit organisation. There are no shareholders, no commercial motives. Every dollar donated goes directly to maintaining and expanding this sacred space for the benefit of Ottawa’s Muslim community.

At the current rate of demand, available burial lots will be exhausted within years. With an increasing and aging Muslim population and the lasting impact of COVID-19, the urgency has never been greater.

Urgent Need for Expansion

At the current rate of burials, all remaining lots will be filled in the coming years. Phase III must begin now to meet future demand.

Growing Community Needs

Ottawa’s Muslim population is growing steadily. Combined with an aging community, the need for burial space is increasing every year.

Support Muslim Families

Your donation can assist families who struggle to afford funeral and burial expenses, ensuring no family is denied a dignified Islamic burial.

Sadaqah Jariyah

A donation to OMC is a continuing charity, earning ongoing reward long after you leave this world, for every Muslim buried through your support.
