Memorial
Garden
In
1988
Father Dan Gerrard suggested to the Vestry that a plan be put in motion
for the
construction of a Memorial
Garden on
the
Church
grounds. Funds were raised mainly through donations.
Architect
Bryan Reed donated his services and designed a beautiful Memorial Garden
which resembled a cross. S & S Construction completed the Memorial Garden and on December 6, 1992
it was
dedicated by Bishop Heistand.
Many
parishioners have chosen the Memorial Garden
as their final
resting place. Plots for in-ground internment as well as niches
in the
columbarium and free standing pillars are available. A plaque
remembering the
name, birth and death dates of members are on the bronze plaques
secured to the
walls around the Memorial
Garden.
For
many parishioners The Memorial
Garden seems
appropriate
to provide a burial place for their cremains. The Memorial Garden
also provides great comfort to family and friends to have access to a
loved one’s
burial place at any time.
