Pre-arranging a Columbarium Niche

Columbaria Niches are located on the west side of the cemetery along a gravel path that backs into the serenity of the forest.

Columbarium spots may be reserved prior to the need for an interment. You can reserve as far in advance as needed.

Pre-arrangement ensures that your personal wishes are known and followed by your survivors.

A cemetery license will be issued upon payment of the required fees with the Resort Municipality of Whistler. The fees for interment are not due until interment arrangements are made with the Cemetery Administrator. 

Reserving a Spot

Visit the cemetery with a set of plot plans to choose the Columbarium Niche spot you wish to reserve. Current plot plans are available from the Cemetery Administrator or in person at the front desk at Municipal Hall.. 

When you have chosen the plot that you wish to reserve, arrange an appointment with the Cemetery Administrator to pay the applicable fees and obtain a cemetery license.

Interment Services

Interments for Columbaria Niches may be scheduled Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Memorial Markers

Memorial markers are to be purchased and engraved by the municipality as these markers form part of the Columbarium structure.

The Resort Municipality of Whistler reserves the right to reject any memorial marker which is not in keeping with the dignity of the cemetery.

Cut Flowers

Cut flowers, wreaths and floral offerings may be placed on grave spaces, but may be removed by the Caretaker when their condition is detrimental to the beauty of the cemetery.
