How lovely is thy dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts!
For my soul, it longeth, yea fainteth for the courts of the Lord.
Blest are they that dwell within Thy house. Psalm 84

THE MEMORIAL GARDEN
Our Memorial Garden was dedicated on September 23, 2001, and is a place of peace and repose for the ashes of those inurned within its wall. The wall contains secure niches for cremated remains. Paved paths and benches offer opportunity for private meditation. A traditional Celtic cross, donated by Mary Alice Davis in memory of her husband, depicts the post resurrection appearances of Christ when he appeared in the garden. The Garden is available for the inurnment of cremains; first, to members of Westminster, and their immediate families; and second, to friends of the church, upon approval of the Session. Persons desiring to reserve space in the garden are invited to complete one application form for each individual by clicking here. Please read the Memorial Garden Policies before signing the application. If you have questions, contact Lisa Runkle, Financial Administrator (217) 522-4415 extension 11. |
