St.
Paul's, Kent, has blessed as a holy place, a Memorial
Garden in the New Cemetery. With a labyrinth, communal
meeting space and areas for quiet contemplation, the
Memorial Garden is an integral part of the worship experience
at St. Paul's. A portion of this garden will be used
as a spiritual and memorial site for those who wish
to have their ashes return to the good earth.
Burial
in the Garden is limited to cremains only, with no urns
or other containers, specific memorial stones, additional
plantings, or artificial flowers permitted. A simple
memorial brick will indicate the name and general area
of interment.
For
more information on this dignified and spiritual alternative
to traditional burial, please contact the St. Paul's
office at (410) 778-8164 or the cemetery sales representative,
Mr. Pete Dillingham, at (410) 639-2695.
