From earliest times, Christians have buried their dead in cemeteries, crypts, churchyards, and chapels associated with their Churches. The Columbarium Ministry at Christ Our Shepherd continues this tradition by providing a peaceful and reverent location at Christ Our Shepherd for the inurned cremains of church members and qualified members of their extended family. The Columbarium provides a private and tasteful room with numerous vault and niche styles for the preservation of cremains in a convenient and secure location. Numerous programs are available for annual, periodic, or casual memorialization of a deceased loved one. In addition, there are opportunities for permanent memorials to be donated for use in the Columbarium or designated for other ministries of Christ Our Shepherd. Many members have purchased niches for deceased loved ones as well as advance purchase for future use. Please visit our beautiful Columbarium just off the Narthex, and consider purchasing a niche for safekeeping of the cremains of a loved one. Please contact any of the Columbarium Trustees listed below or pastors for details.
