Garden of Remembrance

Although there no burials around the church, there is a Garden of Remembrance for members of the congregation, offering an alternative for the disposal of cremated remains from the columbarium in the English Cemetery.
Along the south wall of the parish grounds, a flower border has been set aside and, as remains are deposited, rose bushes can be planted as a living memorial to the departed. A small plaque identifies each plot.
The spot is a pleasant, shady place, with a nice variety of full-grown trees. Several benches, which have been donated by parishioners, are situated around the garden.
