Burial Index

---

Our burial index contain over 100,000 names of people buried in 46 cemeteries, located primarily on southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands in British Columbia, Canada. Recent burials are not included in these indexes. 

Our online burial index includes burial names and cemetery information. The complete burial listings, stored offline at the VGS Genealogy Learning and Research Centre, contain additional information for many of the burials.  The information provided for burials varies by cemetery. 

If you are unable to visit in person, you may search the online version of the burial index for a specific name, and then send us a Research Request for the additional information that we have for the burial. A fee applies to use this service.

The VGS burial index is divided into four separate files:
