The Columbarium
Fairfield Glade United Methodist Church
The Columbarium at the Fairfield Glade Methodist Church became a reality
in the year 2000. Through a survey of its members, the interest was very
positive to establish this addition to our Church.
The Columbarium is located on the southeast corner of the church property
and provides a secluded and sacred place where friends may visit in quiet
and safety. It stands as a beautiful resting place for members of our church.
It was designed and constructed (using Tennessee native stone) to reflect
its place as an integral element of the larger church facility. There are 160
Niches in the Columbarium, 80 on the “Sunrise” side and 80 on the
“Sunset” side.
Infant baptism, holy Communion, marriages, and weekly worship are all
celebrated within our church. The columbarium continues our ministry at a
time of death by providing for those who choose a dignified space for burial,
with perpetual care, within the church property.
With the disbursement of families away from home, we can expect
increasing numbers to choose internment in the place where they have
found so much meaning for their lives.
If you are interested in acquiring a Niche in the Church Columbarium, you
may contact the church office for names on the committee.

Columbarium Committee
The Columbarium Committee has recently added several
niches to the existing columbarium site. There are a total of
45 niches available on the Sunrise elevation. The cost of
purchasing a niche ($950.) has not increased. However, the
cost of future additional niches will increase. One niche is
necessary for each individual. Included in the purchase price
is the cost of the niche itself, and also the name plate
inscribed with the name, date of birth, and the date of death.
The cost also includes the opening and closing of the niche.
If you (or a member of your family) are considering cremation,
and the final disposition of the remains, we suggest that you
consider purchasing a niche(s) now. Please contact the
church office for more information.
Should your plans change in the future and the niches are
determined not to be used, it is the current policy of the
committee to return the money paid to the purchaser. The
Columbarium Committee suggests that purchasing now will
save your net estate dollars.
