Columbarium
|
The newly installed columbarium has been a major project of the parish and you may have noticed in recent weeks the area is now ready for use. Soon additional works will continue such as a garden. This project started some time ago and was driven from the combined efforts of the Capricorn Coast Catholic Community. The columbarium allows for up to 100 spaces as well as two memorial sections.
To preserve uniformity of the columbarium, the plaques for the niches and the memorial plaques shall be of a standard form, design, and dimension. For further information or to reserve either a memorial plaque or a niche please contact the Parish Office. Our columbarium is situated in a well maintained area adjoining the church

INFORMATION ON THE USE OF THE COLUMBARIUM
Placing of Ashes –
At the completion of the funeral service, the body is cremated. A short time later the Crematorium will contact the family and advise them that the ashes are available for collection. The family will then contact our Parish to arrange final inurnment of the ashes in the Columbarium.
Is there a Ceremony?
This is optional. If an inurnment ceremony is requested a fee does apply.
Reservation of a Niche
The Applicant has the option of reserving a niche for intended use by either themselves or others. A niche may be reserved by either full payment of the fee or a 50% deposit.
The balance is paid at the time of use.
In all cases, the application process must receive approval of the Parish prior to the interment of ashes.
Plaque Design
The Plaques for the Columbarium will be of standard design and provided by the Parish. The words and symbols on the plaque will be in accordance with guidelines provided by the parish. The cost of the plaque and inscription is included in the overall Fee. Please see below for an example of plaque wording.
