Memorial Wall
A place for the permanent memorial of loved ones
​and interment of ashes.
Picture
Columbarium Memorial Wall:
The Parish worked for some years on the concept of building a Memorial Wall that would be a permanent tribute to loved ones and a place to inter ashes, a place that ensures loved departed are not `lost' in the anonymity of big, impersonal, public cemeteries.  The wall was completed in 2020 and was dedicated on 11 October 2020 by Bishop Ross Bay.  It is a columbarium which is a structure that provides niches for containers for deceased people’s ashes.
The wall will sits alongside the west-facing wall of the Chapel.  It provides space for a bronze plaque to be mounted at the end of each niche.  There also be a limited number of spaces for plaques without niches.  A Memorial Book providing for a tribute for each person whose ashes have been interred in, or a commemorative plaque placed, on the Memorial Wall will be available to peruse inside the Chapel.
