ERUCC Columbarium and Memorial Garden

Situated in a cozy corner of the property is an opportunity to create a tranquil space for contemplation and a place to permanently memorialize members of our congregations.  We have contracted with Bruce Zavos of ZA+D – whom we worked with on our new community building- to develop a columbarium and memorial garden for the placement of urns and scattering of ashes.  Beautifully landscaped pathways lead to the cylindrical enclosure surrounded by standing partitions of niches and garden fences.  Benches will be provided for extended visits around a small planting area where ashes may be scattered.  As a tribute to the history of our church building, one of the stained glass windows will be incorporated into the design.

We will begin our fundraising efforts immediately in order to move onto the next phase with ZA+D.  Those interested in being a part of the campaign–and those interested in this being their final resting place–should contact colambarium@erucc.org.  This is an exciting opportunity for our church congregation and downtown Frederick!
