Eternal Resting Places for Our Departed

There has been a custom since earliest Christian times to bury the faithful on church property, either in or near a parish church. The Church consecrated these special burial areas since they served as witness to the Christian faith.

In recent times there has been a renewed interest within the Episcopal community in cremation and the burial of ashes in the confines of church property where the sacraments are regularly observed. Such burial is appropriate, spiritually and practically, and is a statement that parishioners continue to be a part of the parish family even in death.

Christ Church provides an opportunity for parishioners and their families to have the ashes of loved ones interred on church property. Urns may be interred in the Altar in the Chapel of Our Lady (space permitting), or in a lot in Resurrection Garden.
