The purpose of the Garden is to provide a designated portion of the church property as a planned area of beauty, dignity and meditation for the use of church members and their families, regardless of their faith, and for the caring disposition of the cremated remains of the loved ones. Uniform engraved bronze plates are permanently placed on the brick wall on the south side of the Garden.
The Kilbourn Room, located inside, adjacent to the Chapel and directly accessible from the north side of the Garden, is available for meditation and contains the Book of Remembrance.
