Columbarium & Memorial Garden

“providing restful and respectful surrounds for remembrance of loved ones and the preservation of their mortal remains”

Placing of Ashes

At the completion of the funeral service the body is cremated. A short time later, the Crematorium will contact the family and advise them that the ashes are available for collection. The family will then contact our Parish to arrange final inurnment of ashes in the reserved Columbarium niche. A ceremony is performed as part of the funeral inurnment offering.
