This question is asked often by persons who are not familiar with alternative means of burial.

A columbarium is a place where the “creamains” of individuals are housed for eternity upon their death.

Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church is blessed to have one of the finest church columbarium in the triad. Located directly behind the Media Center, the columbarium is one of the most peaceful and desirable places on the Wesley Memorial campus. There you will find nicely landscaped grounds centered around a fountain with sitting area for mediation. In the words of one of our members, “This I the best kept secret on the church grounds.”


Our columbarium is a wonderful benefit to our church. Two phases of the project have been completed. These phases house 532 single niches which are available to church members and their families for $600.00/niche.
