Columbarium and

Memorial Garden

Find a special resting place in one of the niches that make up our beautiful round columbarium. Or be memorialized with an individual engraved bronze plaque along the walls of the columbarium.



The 64 niches in the round columbarium are faced in beautiful rose granite.**

The columbarium and memorial garden serve as a living memorial to those who have gone before us. As you enter the garden, there are six columns of split-faced stone, covered by a lovely vine-draped canopy and a beautifully-crafted, round columbarium featured on a pedestal.


The columbarium provides an above ground, unique resting place for you or your loved ones. The stone walls that surround the columbarium are adorned with individual engraved bronze plaques that memorialize those who are not inurned here.


Memorial plaques only, may be purchased for $200 each. Pricing is noted as of January 1, 2017 and is subject to change WITHOUT further notice.


Pricing for a niche in the round columbarium may be guaranteed by signing a columbarium inurnment permit and placing a $500 deposit on your niche.


**There are no remaining niches available for purchase in the columns under the canopy.**
