A Columbarium has been a dream of the
Faith United Methodist Congregation
for a number of years.
It is now a reality and a part of our Memorial Garden
Why choose the Columbarium?
Spiritual Site for Final Repose. In a return to church tradition, it provides members of the Church and their families the opportunity to choose the shadow of the church, which has been central to their lives, as their final resting place. The site is a place of beauty and dignity where friends and family can visit and meditate at any time.
Simplify Arrangements.
It eliminates the pressures of choosing a burial site, casket, vault and monument. It provides a place for inurnment which is a part of Faith United Methodist Church. Substantial Financial Savings. The cost of a columbarium niche is much less than a burial site, and marker.
