Angel Memorial Garden
Our Angel Memorial Garden acts a tribute to the life or lives that have been lost. It gives surviving people a place to remember; it is providing a resting place for remains of beloved ones and creates a serene place of solace for those who grieve. Ashes are placed or scattered right into the soil without a container so that they come to be part of the living garden.
Guidelines
How the Ashes are Interred
The cremains are interred right into the earth by placing the ashes directly into the soil without any container. The Pastor or anyone else approved by the Council will supervise the interment of ashes.
Who May Be Interred
To show we care about our community, anyone, whether they’re a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church or not, may be interred in the Angel Memorial Garden. The garden is open to anyone that wishes to inter the cremated remains of a loved one.
How Interments are Memorialized
Your loved one receives your choice of a full or half page in the Book of Life; It’s a Scrapbook and a recording of the ones we’d like to remember. It records their Full (Legal) name, Birthday/Birthplace, Death Date, and Date of Interment.
(You may also submit a few photos if you’d like)
Cost of Interment
Suggested Fee Donation for Interment is $100.

Garden Maintenance

How to Make Arrangements
Arrangements are to be made through the Pastor or by calling the church office. An application must be completed prior to Interment; that application is available at our church office or we can e-mail it to you personally.
