Phased Improvements

Since 2013, the City of West Kelowna has invested approximately $1.3 million to expand and transform the Westbank Cemetery into a memorial garden, capture the surrounding natural beauty and create a place of serenity that honours the memory of loved ones.

The cemetery facility has been expanded along the eastern slope to include:

A memorial path with cremation plots
A memorial wall;
An interment meadow
An ossuary
Pathways and staircases

The eastern viewpoint has been enhanced to include:

Benches
Columbaria and mausoleums
Flower gardens
Lawn

The cemetery was transformed from a barren sand and rock landscape to a memorial garden with meandering pathways lined with thousands of trees, shrubs and perennials, with irrigation and fencing.
