The Living Memorial Garden
The Living Memorial Garden is located in our front lawn and joined to
the church by a flagstone path. 
Designed as a perennial garden, it changes from season-to-season and
offers open areas among the plants to receive scattered ashes. On the
stone patio, a bench provides seating for quiet meditation. The garden
is surrounded by shrubs and trees to create an area of peace and seclusion.
For those making a family or individual commitment, a plaque inside the
church will list memorialized people after funeral services, and a full
page in the Memorial Book will be reserved for details of each
person memorialized. The same is available for families who wish to anticipate
memorial services by filing their last wishes, or to remember relatives
with a family or individual contribution.
A very reasonable fee is charged for joining the Garden and this also
includes
the opportunity to use a page in our Memorial Book (kept in the Ministers
Office), to memorialize the deceased person, and a plaque on the Memorial
Board (located in the Atrium) listing the persons name and year of
birth and death. All fees are listed in the Living Memorial Garden leaflet
available in the entrance hall or from Margot's office.
We invite you to stroll along the flagstone path that links the Church
to the Garden, sit on the curved stone bench for a while, listen to the
birds singing and enjoy the lovely view of our Church and grounds.
For further information please contact the minister or the church office.
