Starting next week, residents will be able to honour a loved one by placing an ornament on the Tree of Memories at the Kelowna Memorial Cemetery.
From December 5th until January 5th, people can place an ornament on the tree under the dome in the Promontory Green Interment Garden, or on the spruce trees by the Legacy Gardens.
“During the holidays, we often think of loved ones who have passed,” said cemetery manager, David Gatzke. “By placing an ornament on a Tree of Memories, families and friends can pay tribute to a loved one even if they aren’t interred in the Kelowna municipal cemetery.”
The Tree of Memories program has been offered annually in Kelowna since 1998. Ornaments from previous years are placed on the memorial trees as a perpetual memory, but if you wish to retrieve your ornament after the holiday season you can do it after January 6th, 2017.
The Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery is located at 1991 Bernard Ave., right beside Kelowna Golf and Country Club.
