The First Presbyterian Church Memorial Garden is designed to minister to the needs of First Presbyterian Church members and their families by providing an appropriate and carefully maintained consecrated site for the interment of ash remains. The Memorial Garden is intended to be a place for church members to reflect and linger individually or gather as a group. A renewed understanding of the opportunity to celebrate eternal life and memorialize the worth of individuals has encouraged the development of this garden. It is designed to close the circle of ministry from birth to death while providing continual physical relationship with the church.
