Walker Chapel Historic Cemetery and Columbarium

Faith and Tradition

Life and death are a mystery to us all. Why are we here? What comes next?

I have seen people upset and frustrated because so much is unknown and unprovable. Others, like me, are quite content with it being a mystery. It is faith that wraps up the mystery and bundles us up in a warm blanket. There are many faiths around the world with many differences, but faith itself is the bond that shields and protects.

That is why the Columbarium at the Walker Chapel Historic Cemetery is open to all faiths and all people regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, or nationality. We are all God’s children, and all are welcome at the Chapel.

  Honoring a Loved One After Cremation

Honoring a loved one after cremation is intensely personal. There are so many options and so many people giving heartfelt advice; it can be hard to decide. There are considerations for each option, and the best advice may be not to select an irreversible option, should you later be of a different mind.

  Creating a Family Legacy in a Historic Cemetery

The Columbarium at Walker Chapel Cemetery is a place to keep ashes permanently. It becomes a place to visit and for family gatherings of remembrance. They are on consecrated grounds of great beauty and peace. The cemetery is in the Walker Chapel Historic District, with the Chapel itself, which is a classical white church on the hill.

  Can I Keep Ashes at Home

Many people keep ashes at home, sometimes for months, sometimes for years. For some families, the urn brings comfort and closeness. For others, it eventually raises difficult questions about safety, permanence, visitation, and what future generations will do. There is no single right answer. This guide is meant to help you thoughtfully explore the decision.
