Prayer Garden & Columbarium
The St. Joseph Catholic Church Columbarium sits in a beautiful garden setting behind the Church and provides a reverential place of internment for the cremated ashes of our beloved deceased. In a way, it will recreate the "churchyard cemetery" tradition of earlier America, as it reposes the remains of persons in a setting close to familiar surroundings in which they worshipped. To the living it provides a garden spot for visitation, remembrance, and prayer for the deceased.
