Columbarium Niche

The most prominent features visible at Tranquility Gardens are the columbaria. A columbarium is a tower or wall-like structure containing niches. A niche will hold the cremains of one or two individuals and is sealed behind a granite plate. Onto this plate is placed a bronze wreath with the name, dates and epitaph of those being remembered. A small oval framed photo or two may also be added to a niche.

Garden Memorial Services

These services at the time of inurnment are an important part of the Tranquility Gardens experience. We can provide some shade, some seating and a lovely setting when it is time. Music or even a slide show can be coordinated with enough time and preparation to make this moment as special and unique as you need it to be.



Open Year-Round

Visit your loved ones night and day and all year around. Tranquility Gardens has lighting for those short winter days and music playing all year long. We also make every effort to maintain access to the majority of our sites in Tranquility Gardens, whatever Quesnel's famous winter weather has to throw at us. We do our best to keep the inner garden paths especially clear of ice and snow and safe for access by all each winter.
