About the Abu Ubaydah Funeral Service
We are aware of how important having a solid support system is during difficult times.
The Abu Ubaydah Islamic Center developed the Funeral Service system, which offers consolation and relief by assisting families with the significant duties associated with planning a respectable funeral for their departed loved ones.
The Abu Ubaydah Funeral Service respects each soul’s journey and is based on Islamic teachings on life, death, and the afterlife. By providing respectful, caring support in accordance with Islamic customs and praying for Allah’s forgiveness, peace, and acceptance of the departed, we hope to lessen the burden on bereaved families.
How It Works
Membership & Account Setup
Joining this program requires a one-time registration fee of $150, which helps cover initial setup costs. $100 for the contribution, thus make in total $250. There will be $50 annually contribution. This account allows seamless contributions when a Janazah service is needed.
Contributions for Janazah Services
When a Janazah service occurs, a $50 contribution from each member’s account helps cover the associated costs. Members are then notified via email or SMS to top up their balance , ensuring the fund is prepared to assist the community in times of need.
Peace of Mind in Times of Grief
Losing a loved one can be overwhelming. Knowing there’s a support system in place to manage the Janazah services brings peace of mind, enabling family members to focus on honoring and remembering their loved one.
Point to know
Account Suspension: If a membership account experiences payment defaults, bounces, or non-payment for three consecutive months (90 days), the membership is automatically flagged as expired.
Immediate Loss of Coverage: If an account expires, the individual loses all rights to subsidized funeral benefits. Should a death occur while an account is in expired status, the family will be required to pay the full, out-of-pocket costs for the burial plot, washing (Ghusl), shrouding (Kafan), and transportation by them selves
Reinstatement Penalties: Re-activating an expired account isn’t as simple as paying the missed balance. Members who let their accounts lapse for three months are treated as brand-new applicants. They must pay the initial sign-up registration fee again and wait out a mandatory probationary period (usually 30 to 90 days) before coverage kicks back in.
Registration Fee Waiver: When a woman is removed from her former spouse’s family plan, she must register for her own independent, single membership. To ease her transition, the organization will completely waive the standard one-time registration setup fee (which normally costs between $100 and $250).
Continuous Coverage: By transitioning directly into her own account, the standard 90-day waiting period for new members is bypassed. This ensures she remains fully covered without a single day of vulnerability.
Remarried: When a member married the spouse we get in automatically, woman remarried than husband should pay registration.
The Annual Fee: She must pay the community’s standard yearly donation or annual maintenance fee (typically a nominal amount ranging from $50 to $120 per year).
Members: Muslim adults residing in Canada. Those outside of Ontario must provide information for their local masjid that will facilitate the burial service.
Family Inclusion: Membership can extend to spouses, dependent children under 25, and parents living at the same address.
