FOLLOWING THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS
Valley Community Church is proud to announce that the new Columbaria Wall has been
completed! Plans are progressing on the landscaping surrounding the wall and the
fountain that is planned for the patio in front of the wall.
The Columbaria, which is adjacent to our beautiful Meditation Garden, is designed to
provide secure burial niches, each of which will hold the cremated remains of two people.
Their name/s will be identified by a handsome metal plaque. The Columbaria and its
gardens will receive perpetual care and our ministers will hold a yearly ceremony
celebrating the memory of all whose final resting place is there.
Traditional funerals can be one of the three or four most expensive purchases we make,
with an average cost of $6,000 to $15,000 or more, excluding the cost of a cemetery plot,
grave stone and opening and closing the grave. In contrast, a simple cremation is about
$2,000, and with the use of a visitation room, chapel, etc., can cost $2,250. Considering
these costs, many people have begun thinking of cremation/columbarium as a sensible,
yet caring end-of-life arrangement.
The cost of each niche in the Valley Community Church Columbaria is $1250.00. Each
niche can accommodate one or two wooden burial boxes made of oak, walnut or cherry
or another simpler container. Pictures below show the attractive semi-circular wall
containing the niches complimented by a field stone patio. By summer, 2011, the
landscaping and fountain will be in place and the site and its surrounding trees and
shrubbery will convey a feeling of serenity and timeless beauty.
Considering the difference in cost between the average burial/gravesite and
cremation/columbaria, would you be interested in purchasing a niche of your choice in
the Valley Community Church Columbaria wall? Time payment plans are available. At
this time, a group of niches could be reserved for various members of a family, if that is
needed. If you would like more information or would like to reserve a Columbaria niche,
please contact us at the church number, 540-774-5512, ext 10. You may also email us at
valleycommunity@yahoo.com.
If your end-of-life plans are already made, you might consider sponsoring a “Memorial
Brick” imprinted with your name or that of someone else or a Bible verse. The cost of a
brick, which will line the outer periphery of the patio, is $125.00.
