Leal has asked members to think about adding a Memorial Garden or Columbarium to the church. The following is a definition from Wikipedia:

A columbarium (plural columbaria or columbariums) is a place for the respectful and usually public storage of cinerary urns (i.e. urns holding a deceased’s cremated remains). The term comes from the Latin columba (dove) and originally referred to compartmentalized housing for doves and pigeons.

Columbaria can be either free standing units, or part of a mausoleum or another building. Some manufacturers do produce columbaria that are built entirely off-site and brought to the cemetery by a large truck.

Right now, nothing is planned or firm or anything. Any suggestions or questions are appreciated.
