Reclamation is standard practice for cemeteries all over the world. In B.C., this practice is regulated by the Cremation, Interment, and Funeral Services Act.

Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery is gearing up to take back unused Right of Interment Permits to plots that were sold in or before 1973.

“The purpose of this reclamation project is to ensure the city is responsibly managing cemetery land,” Tracey Hillis, cemetery manager, said in a press release.
