Memorial Garden

A ministry to fulfill the age-old tradition of the church to serve its members from baptism through death. 

Bethel's memorial garden offers a beautiful setting housing columbaria and a memorial wall. Additional features include shade trees, a perennial garden, benches, nighttime lighting, and privacy, with easy access and handicap accessibility.

The columbarium is a granite structure providing niches (sacred openings) for the permanent placement of urns that hold cremated remains. Each niche holds up to two urns. The site is designed to hold three columbarium units.

The Memorial Wall offers a wonderful opportunity to honor a loved one by adding their name to a plaque for the wall. Each 2” x 5” steel plaque contains two lines: The first line lists the name of the deceased, the second line lists the year of their birth and of their death. Order forms for the plaques are available at the church office, both church Welcome Centers and by clicking here

Bethel's Memorial Garden is located at the Highlands Campus.
