Memorial Garden and Columbarium
After more than a year of planning, research, and design, the Memorial Garden and Columbarium Committee broke ground on the project on May 4th, 2008. The members of the committee were: Danny Custer, the Rev. John Heck, John and Sondra Kirsch, Milton Miller, and Don and Carol Osborne.
The Saint Peter’s Memorial Garden and Columbarium was built by the congregation and dedicated on May 31st, 2010. The excavation work and foundations were constructed by Tim Underwood, General Contractor, Ferrum, Virginia; the rock work was done by David Conroy of StoneAge Masonry, Willis, Virginia; the tile work was done by Brad Barbour of Ferrum, Virginia; and the landscaping done by members of the congregation.
Interment of ashes is open to members of the parish and their families, residents of the Diocese, and from the wider community.
A niche can be purchased for $500. Anyone interested in further information is invited to contact the Rector, or a member of the Vestry.
Looking out toward the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Anyone in the congregation, the Diocese, the community, and beyond is welcome to purchase a niche and have their ashes interred in the columbarium or scattered in the garden.
