Our families, while there might be similarities with others, are special.
And how we deal with planning for our death is unique to who we are, to who our families are, and to our faith.
We strive to help you find peace in making your own and your family’s decisions about your final resting place.
We are also here to help you, as we can, find your way through the loss of a loved one.
Here we list some key points to consider as you make a decision about yours or a loved one’s inurnment in a columbarium:
Columbarium: An ancient Latin word for “dove nest.” Today, it designates a place that holds the cremains of loved ones in individual niches.
God’s perspective on cremation: Scripture informs us that God created us from dust, and to dust we will return. Whether we are buried or cremated, God will fulfill his promise for our resurrection.
Affordability: The average burial today costs approximately $16,000. In addition to costing only one-third of this average, each niche holds two urns.
Security: The building is secure by lock and the walled-in, gated courtyard has controlled access.
Ownership: The buyer receives a right-to-use, non-transferable license.
Maintenance fees: There are no fees. The Columbarium is maintained in perpetuity.
Psalm 34:18 – The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Revelation 21:4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose
John 16:22 Now is the time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
1 Peter 5:10 And the God of all grace, who called you to your eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast
1 John 5:13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
Revelation 7:16-17
Never again will they hunger;
Never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them
Nor any scorching heat.
For the Lamb at the center of the throne
Will be their shepherd;
’he will lead them to springs of living water.’
‘And God will wipe away ever tear from their eyes’.
