The dream of a Belmont UMC columbarium is becoming a reality thanks to a generous donation from a beloved Belmont family. Construction is underway next to Ferguson chapel in the space formerly used as a prayer room. This attractive area will include space for honor, prayer, reflection and remembrance.

Click here to find out why members are purchasing columbarium niches.

Use of the columbarium is open to all members of Belmont and their immediate families, including spouse/partner and children. There will be 108 niches available for use. Each niche will hold two urns and one can reserve either an entire niche or half a niche. The current cost of each full niche is $3,000 and a half niche is $1,500. Several niches have already been selected and you may reserve and choose your niche at any time.

An outdoor columbarium is planned when funding becomes available.
