Funerals

St. Paul's Cemetery and Columbarium

For help with making funeral arrangements, please contact a member of the clergy. We strongly recommend that church members make preferences for their own funerals known to us and allow us to keep them on file in the parish office. Any of the clergy are available to discuss these arrangements with you as well as any questions you may have about living wills.

	“Every person should have a will, not neglecting, if they are able, to leave bequests for religious and charitable uses.” (The Book of Common Prayer, pp. 445).

	St. Paul's Cemetery was established in 1809, along with other local church cemeteries. For a PDF map of the cemetery plots, please visit here. Today, St. Paul's Cemetery is the final resting place of over 1,500 former church leaders, including the Rev. James T. Johnston and the Rev. George H. Norton, as well as other members of our congregation and community. The cemetery has a limited number of plots available for purchase, and a columbarium and niches are also available. If you are interested in learning more about the plots or the columbarium or would like to arrange for the purchase of either, please contact Gerald W.
