British Columbia Cemeteries

The BC Genealogical Society’s Cemetery Committee volunteers have worked for decades to transcribe the headstones in cemeteries around the province. Other British Columbia genealogical societies added to this collection. The transcriptions were published in a series of books, some of which we later upgraded to a cd. Listed below are the cemeteries, by region, with the corresponding book title. The years after the cemetery name refer to the dates the transcriptions were recorded.

The books are now out of print, but have been scanned and are available to view and download here, by our members. If the cemetery you are interested in has a note saying (Call BCGS Library) it means that the cemetery was transcribed by another family history society and we have the book in the library for look ups.

FindaGrave – As part of the greater genealogical community, the British Columbia Genealogical Society is now participating in the activities of Find-a-Grave and adding any memorials that we have recorded. We are volunteers, doing our best to contribute to this wonderful site. You can tell we have ‘been there’ by our signature:
