The church has a columbarium for cremains.

The Church of the Advent in Brownsville was established in 1851 by a group of Episcopalian citizens and army personnel stationed at Fort Brown. During the great hurricane of 1867, the first church building was destroyed, however a replica was rebuilt and completed by 1877. In the 1920's the Elizabeth Street property was acquired and the present Spanish Colonial Revival Style building was completed in 1927 and is now a recorded Texas Historic Landmark which celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2001.
