The Kelowna & District Genealogical Society’s Central Okanagan Obituaries Project is full steam ahead thanks to a City of Kelowna Cultural Grant!

Our team of dedicated volunteers are indexing, scanning and making available the obituaries of Indigenous peoples, historical figures, and recent residents of the Central Okanagan.

Check out our current index at: https://kdgs.ca/obituary-listings/ and watch for an announcement this May when you can search the entire growing database yourself.

In the meantime, see the request form at the bottom of the above page or email obits@kdgs.ca to request an obituary. There is a $10 fee for non-members of KDGS.

Since 2010, volunteers of the Kelowna & District Genealogical Society have been indexing, scanning and uploading obituaries to a database. As of 2025, we have over 19,000 entries on a new and modern database that has improved our workflow resulting in faster processing of entries. Soon you will be able to search our database yourself. In the meantime, use our form to request an obituary from the listings below.

Much work is still required, so if you would like to help the committee, obits@kdgs.ca.

Obituary Search

Search by Last Name using the following alphabetical listings. We have also indexed the names mentioned in the obituary and can be searched in the alphabetical listings. You can request a copy on an obituary by using our form below (please copy the card reference number.)
