For centuries, Christians have honored their loved ones with dignified final resting places in churchyards on their grounds.
In this tradition, Westminster’s Memorial Garden provides a place of repose and remembrance in a lovely sacred garden where one can peacefully meditate upon the lives of those who have died.
Located just outside the sanctuary, the Memorial Garden is an integral part of Westminster’s ministry at the end of life. It provides a beautiful, meaningful place where members and their families can proceed directly from a memorial service to inter a loved one near their church home. The Memorial Garden is open for quiet reflection and prayer on Sundays from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Columbarium
Westminster’s Columbarium has 660 niches, where urns containing cremated remains are interred. Each niche has the capacity to hold two urns. The niches are sealed with engraved limestone fronts showing the name and life dates of those interred within.
Memorial Wall
The Memorial Wall is located near the Columbarium. Made of beautiful cream-colored limestone, it is a dignified memorial to those whose names are simply and elegantly engraved upon it. The Memorial Wall provides Westminster members an opportunity to remember those they love who may be interred elsewhere.
The Memorial Wall engravings and Columbarium niches are available to current Westminster members and their families, spouses or partners. The Memorial Garden is available for visits on Sunday mornings or during regular church business hours.
