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 memorial includes the statue and a plaza with memorial walls to which names of deceased children and/or siblings will be 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 was dedicated on September 25, 2004 and won First Prize in the International Cemetery and Funeral Association’s 2004 “Keeping it Personal” awards.
