Memorial Garden & Columbarium

A columbarium is an above‐ground structure containing multiple niches — a compartment holding the sealed urn(s) with cremated remains — which provides a final resting place for FaithPoint families and their loved ones. Our goal is to create a peaceful and welcoming environment for those visiting their loved ones. An example:

At this time, FaithPoint has $35,000 to fund the initial development of the project. Our plan is to raise additional funds prior to beginning construction of the memorial garden site (regular updates will be given as this fund builds). 

We will then rely on the sales of niches and memorials to maintain the space and purchase additional columbarium sections.

Because we don’t have specifics on materials and size for the columbarium yet, we cannot give an actual cost per niche. Based on similar units, we anticipate the cost to be $3,000-$3,500. This would include the use of a selected niche, an urn(s) for the cremains, and a distinctive engraved faceplate. (A niche can accommodate two sheet bronze urns.) Another option is an ossuary space (center of vault) that may be a fraction of the cost of a companion niche. We will also offer memorial plaques and benches to be displayed within the garden.
