The qathet Regional District has installed three columbarium walls at the Powell River Regional (Cranberry) Cemetery.
The regional district said the new walls will expand memorial options for residents and families in the community.
“Our cemeteries are deeply personal places where people come to remember, reflect, and honour loved ones,” said Clay Brander, chair of the qathet Regional District board. “The new columbaria ensures we can continue to provide dignified, accessible options for families.”
According to a release from the district, the project follows a motion passed at a Nov. 26 board meeting approving capital spending of $145,800 in the 2026-27 cemetery budget.
Installation of the columbarium walls was completed April 13.
