COLUMBARIUM

COLUMBARIUM – comes from the Latin name for a dwelling place of a dove (Columba), which Christians believe is the symbol of the Holy Spirit.

The Trinity columbarium is a place for the eternal rest of cinerary urns.  The Columbarium at Trinity Anglican Church are located at the west door entrance. It provides a secure, peaceful and serene alternative to outdoor cemeteries so weather conditions are never a concern. A variety of niche sizes are available, suitable for individuals, couples or families.

Our niches are indoors, and handicap accessible. There are one hundred and one niches (ranging in sizes to hold one to four urns) along the east and south walls.
