Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the newly constructed Chapel Mausoleum of the Resurrection, a modern, church-like facility designed to inspire prayer, reflection, and remembrance. The mausoleum features 18 exquisite works of sacred art, including a powerful statue of the Resurrected Christ, elegant marble crypts, glass-front cremation niches, and a breathtaking stained-glass dome above the altar in the Chapel of the Resurrection, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Beneath the dome rests a marble altar adorned with bronze statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Twelve Apostles, commemorating Pentecost.
This peaceful and spiritually enriching space also includes the newly opened Chapel of the Ascension, a serene area dedicated exclusively to cremation interments, featuring a striking stained-glass image of Christ ascending into Heaven.
Throughout the weekend, our caring and professional Memorial Planning Advisors will be on hand to provide information and answer questions about:
