Walker Chapel Historic Cemetery and Columbarium

Finding the Right Place

Okay, time for a tough question: What is the right place?

The answer is,  you will know yourself when the right place is the right place.

For some, it is a shelf in the den; for others, it is burial in a special place; while some like a unique spot, like the registered historic cemetery at Walker Chapel. In years to come, you will want a place you can return to, a place to gather and remember. The gallery I would like to share with you is your gallery. Your photographs, artwork, videos, stories, and memories. The family Gallery.

Our dream here at Walker Chapel is that the Columbarium will be a family legacy and gathering place for generations, but your family gallery breathes life into the memories, and since it is in the cloud, family members can enjoy and share in it wherever there is an Internet connection. The target date for making digital family galleries available is the end of 2026. We call it “The Wall of Memories.”
