COLUMBARIUM

Burial of Ashes

In the crypt of St Augustine’s church, the Chapel of All Souls, is our Columbarium. This peaceful chapel of rest contains many niches in which ashes can be laid to rest.

Our Columbarium Warden, Bill Colen, looks after all the practicalities, and he can be contacted through the Parish Office.

In addition, our beautiful garden of remembrance is also available for the interment of ashes.

The garden is always open to the public, and the Columbarium is open during Parish Office hours (9am-2pm Monday-Friday).

Each month, on the First Saturday of the Month, in the Columbarium Chapel, there is a Requiem Eucharist at which the names of those who have been laid to rest in the chapel and whose anniversary of death falls in that month are read out in prayer.

All are welcome to attend these services of Holy Communion in remembrance of their loved ones. If it happens that you attend, but the anniversary of death does not fall in that month, do mention to the Priest to ensure their name is read out.
