Church teachings insist that cremated human remains should be treated with the same respect given to the corporeal remains of the human body. This includes a worthy container to hold the cremated remains as well as their placement. Mt. Olivet Cemetery will start construction on a Cremation and Estate Garden for their St. Andrew’s Hill section that will help you fulfill this obligation. This beautiful garden setting will provide a quality option for families requesting cremation interment. It will offer unique alternatives for memorialization, including several columbaria and niche walls, as well as cremation plots in a garden-type setting. The landscaping will serve as a backdrop for small upright memorials and flat markers.  The perimeter of the garden will consist of Family Estate Lots for standard burial and family mausoleums.

Besides these new burial options, construction will also include redirecting some of the roadways, attractive walkways throughout the new section, benches and some beautiful new trees and shrubs. This plan is scheduled to be completed in multiple phases over several years.
