Memorial Garden

The Advent Memorial Garden is a quiet place where ashes can be interred, and in which to meditate and reflect surrounded by the cloud of witnesses of those who have gone before us.

The Advent Memorial Garden is under the management of the Church of the Advent Vestry. Fees are restricted to expenses related to the maintenance and improvement of the Garden.

When interment takes place, cremains (loose or in biodegradable containers) mingle with the earth of the Garden. A brass plaque engraved with name and birth and death dates is fixed to the garden wall. When a memorial is made without interment, the name alone is engraved on a brass plaque.

The fee for interment or memorial is $500. The rector and Vestry of the Church of the  Advent can waive or vary this amount in cases of need.
