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) 778-1540 or the cemetery sales representative, Mr. Pete Dillingham, at (410) 639-2695.
