The growing practice of cremation makes it possible for our church to restore the churchyard burial tradition. The columbarium provides a unique and economical choice for members of St. Thomas More parish to securely house the remains of loved ones in a setting close to familiar surroundings where they worship and perhaps were baptized and married. To the living, it provides a garden spot for visitation, remembrance and prayer for the deceased.

The Catholic Church’s directives provide for cremation as an option to traditional casket burial. St. Thomas More has dedicated church grounds that are a sacred final resting place for the cremated remains of its parishioners. Our columbarium is located on the walkway to the church behind the Pastoral Office.  

Unfortunately, we no longer have any niches available for purchase. 

Plans are underway to build an expansion to our Columbarium, but it might be several years before niches are available for purchase.  We apologize for any inconvenience and invite you to contact one of the local cemeteries for inquiries into purchasing a niche or burial plot for you or your loved ones.
