Memorial Options
Originally an Anglican Church burial ground at the turn of the century, Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery now pays tribute to the many different ethnic communities whose pioneer spirit built our city. Memorial Park offers many different memorial options.
Bennett Columbaria
Named in honour of former Premier W.A.C. Bennett and his wife May, well-respected residents of Kelowna, the Bennett Memorial Columbaria offer above-ground granite monuments for the placement of private cremated remains.
With the completion of an expansion project in 2007 the Bennett Columbaria offers 576 niches; each niche accommodates two urns.
The Brevity Memorial
The Brevity Memorial is dedicated to children whose lives were cut short, as symbolized by the life-size bronze statue of two children playing atop a tree stump. The plaza includes memorial walls to which names of deceased children and/or siblings are added annually.
The memorial is a joint project between the Cemetery and the Kelowna chapter of the Compassionate Friends, an organization dedicated to bereaved parents and family members. The Brevity Memorial received first place in the International Cemetery and Funeral Association’s 2004 “Keeping it Personal” awards.
Promontory Green
The Promontory Green Interment Garden is a two-tiered walled garden mausoleum and columbaria The Promontory Green offers 60 crypts for full casket entombment and 900 niches for inurnment (each niche accommodates two urns), a Scattering Garden for cremated remains, and individual lots for in-ground urn burials.
A pathway along reflecting pools, water cascades and manicured gardens links the lower wall, Promontory Green and upper wall to the Promontory Dome, the facility’s highest and most prominent architectural feature. The 15-foot structure provides a venue for ceremonies of remembrance.
