On
June 27th, 2006 Bishop Howe blessed and dedicated
Christ Church's new Columbarium housed in the Northeast
Narthex. A little over two years previously, the Christ
Church Burial Committee was established to investigate
the possibility of incorporating a Columbarium (repository
for the ashes of cremated persons) into our worship
area and/or in a garden space within the courtyard.
Given the escalating cost of conventional burial,
cremation with a resting place within the church for
the ashes of loved ones is a blessed alternative.
There are no other churches in the greater Warrensburg
area that offer a repository place for ashes of loved
ones. With
Vestry approval and advancement of funds, a Columbarium
was purchased from the Eickhof Company and installed
in the east wall of the narthex.
If you are interested in obtaining a niche for yourself or a loved one, please contact the church office. |
