"The Memorial Garden is a place set apart where cremated ashes are placed. As noted below, there are two phases to the First Presbyterian garden, one of which is in effect now. That phase allows ashes to be scattered in the soil, becoming part of a living garden....The Garden at First Presbyterian provides an appropriate place for cremains.
The Garden provides a quiet place for meditation or just to enjoy the lovely plantings.
The Garden benches provide a place where a small discussion group might meet.
