FPC Memorial Garden
Memorial Garden Dedication
The Garden was dedicated on Sunday, May 19, 2024.
Memorial Garden Application
The Memorial Garden, here on the grounds of First Presbyterian, provides a beautiful outdoor setting for the common interment of ash remains, as well as a place of remembrance, thanksgiving, prayer, and reflection. Members of the First Presbyterian Church, their spouses, minor children, clergy, past clergy and their spouses are all eligible for interment. Other requests will be at the discretion of the Pastoral Staff, Worship Council, and the Session.
Ashes will be interred in the Garden during a service of commitment performed by a Pastor of FPC. The name of the deceased, date of birth and date of death will be placed on the Memorial Plaque in the Garden. The Church will maintain a book containing the names of all those whose ashes are buried in the Garden, along with a short biography of the deceased.
There is a fee of $1000.00 to cover the cost of the name plate and perpetual care of the Garden. A space immediately below the deceased may be reserved at that time for a spouse. The fee is an additional $1000.00; no other fees will be incurred at the time of burial. For any questions contact the church or Laura Powell here.
Memorial Garden
