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 lists memorialized people after funeral services, and a full page in the Memorial Book is 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 Minister’s office) to memorialize the deceased person, and a plaque on the Memorial Board (located in the Atrium) listing the person’s name and year of birth and death. All fees are listed in the Living Memorial Garden leaflet available in the entrance hall or from church’s office.
We invite you to stroll along the flagstone path that links the church to the Living Memorial 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.
