Orangewood Memorial Gardens

 In 1997 Bob Page and others had a great desire to have a columbarium built on the Orangewood Presbyterian property.  On January 21, 1998 the first meeting of the newly formed Columbarium Committee was called to order.  There were many meetings held in 1999.

 Two of the goals were to build a columbarium with no cost to the church and to have it look attractive and be in good taste with the rest of the church property.  Both goals where achieved.

 In order to start building $50,000.00 had to be raised in the sale of niches.  On August 24, 1999 a total of $53,050.00 had been raised and the building contract was signed.  The final payment to the contractor was made on September 22, 2000 and dedication came soon thereafter.  The columbarium has been named "Orangewood Memorial Garden".

To date 13 loved ones have been interred in the Garden.  We also have 26 persons which have been remembered on the Cenotaph.  This project has been a real addition to Orangewood Presbyterian Church and has served many families at their time of grief.  Terry and Sandy Frost have maintained the beautiful landscaping.
