Today, many people are searching for an alternative to ground burial that offers beauty and simplicity. Cremation with memorialization is one alternative. We believe that inurnment on church grounds is a statement of our faith in the resurrection, the life everlasting, and the church triumphant.
It was decided in 2006 that a memorial garden would be designed as a sacred addition to our church campus and that it would include a columbarium. A columbarium is a structure that is lined with small vaults, called niches, in which urns containing cremation remains are stored. The reservation of niches, like the reservation of cemetery plots, makes them self-perpetuating and permanently maintained.
