ALL SAINTS' COLUMBARIUM

Chapel of the Good Shepherd with a view of the Columbarium

he internment of the remains of the deceased within or near the place of worship has been a practice of Christians since the time of the primitive church, the catacombs of Italy being a good example.

Currently, many individuals wish to have their earthly remains kept and their life remembered in the place where they worshipped. The presence of these remains reminds us of the communion of saints, the whole Body of Christ, which includes the living and the deceased.

A Columbarium was installed at All Saints because of an expressed desire by members of the congregation. It was installed in the Chapel of the Good Shepherd which was refurbished during our centennial reconstruction of the Church.

The Columbarium is intended for the use of members of the parish and those who are close to them. The Rector, Wardens and Vestry have sole discretion over whose ashes may be interred in the columbarium.

Fees and Rules

The fees are $750 for active members of the parish
$1,000 for friends or relatives of parishioners.

The cost is the same for one or two urns.
