Our cemetery offers a serene and respectful final resting place for members of the Muslim community in the Prairie region. We take great pride in maintaining our grounds to provide a peaceful and tranquil environment for loved ones to visit and remember those who have passed. As we continue to grow, we are committed to upholding the traditions and values that make our cemetery a place of solace and reflection for all.

Why we need to own Muslim graveyard?

Building a Muslim cemetery in Saskatoon would not only meet the current needs of the growing Muslim population but also provide a permanent solution for future generations. It would serve as a landmark for the Muslim community, a place where we can honor our deceased loved ones in accordance with our religious beliefs and traditions.

Having a dedicated Muslim cemetery in Saskatoon would also create a sense of unity and belonging among the Muslim community. It would be a place where we can come together to mourn, pray, and remember those who have passed away. Additionally, it would ensure that our burial practices are respected and upheld, giving us peace of mind knowing that our final resting place is in accordance with our faith.

By investing in a permanent Muslim cemetery in Saskatoon, we are not only meeting the practical needs of the community but also making a lasting contribution to the cultural and religious landscape of the city. It would be a symbol of our presence and contribution to the diversity of Saskatoon, showcasing our values and traditions for generations to come

Groundbreaking Ceremony of PMA's graveyard land.

History

Alhamdulillah, in April 2016, we discovered a beautiful plot of land that exceeded our expectations. After consulting with trustees, management, shura, and musallis, we have made the decision to purchase the site for a cemetery and other projects. We are truly grateful for this blessing from Allah, as finding the perfect land for our community's needs is a crucial step in fulfilling our vision for the future. With the support and guidance of our dedicated team, we are confident that this investment will benefit not only our current members but also generations to come. May Allah continue to bless our efforts and grant us success in all our endeavors. Ameen.

About the Land

  • Its approximately 80 acres agriculture land.
  • Corman Park has pre-approved this land for discretional use of cemetery.
  • It’s an uphill land, ideal for graveyard so the rain and melting snow water won’t damage graves.
  • Soil quality meets the standards of graveyards.

Location of the land

Very convenient location for Saskatoon residents.

10 km away from west Masjid, approximately 10 minutes’ drive, next to Buck autos.

It’s at the boundary of Saskatoon and under the Saskatoon city expansion study.

Price of the land

Owner has demanded $480k. Our first offer was $380k which was declined. We hired a professional appraisal company and they appraised it ranged $473K-$440K.

Finally we agreed upon $440 k Alhamdulillah.

What's the plan?

Proposed area for graveyard is 10 acres rest of land will be used according to community’s future needs. Register a funeral house to reduce the price further, for a burial.
