Meditation Garden
-
When Chapel members and visitors wish to pray or ponder, the Meditation Garden affords an idyllic
opportunity to do that. Beautiful flowers, plantings and a waterfall, with several benches, offer
an ambience most conducive for meditation. But the primary purpose of the Meditation Garden is to
provide a final resting place for departed members of the Chapel congregation and their families.
-
In 1994, a handsome masonry Columbarium was designed and built with niches for 101 urns containing
the ashes of those gone to their eternal reward. By 2007, all the Columbarium niches had been reserved
by Chapel members and expansion of the facilities was necessary. A second Columbarium was designed
and constructed in 2008 with appearance similar to the original. Columbarium II, as it is named,
offers almost as many niches as the original, although the structure is smaller. In addition
a Memorial Garden was designed and built that same year that provides an area for direct interment
of ashes of the departed in the ground.

Everyone is welcome to visit the Chapel Meditation Garden, whether to say a prayer for a departed
loved one or to simply sit and reflect on the beauty of God's world. Chapel members may obtain
information on reserving space for interment of loved ones by contacting the Chapel office.
