Memorial Services
At St. Paul’s, we walk with individuals and families through life’s sacred passages—including the journey of loss. Rooted in the hope of the Resurrection and guided by the liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer, our funeral and memorial services are offered with reverence, compassion, and care.
We welcome the opportunity to honor the life of your loved one through a service that reflects their faith and story. Whether you prefer a quiet gathering or a full Eucharistic celebration, our clergy and pastoral team are here to support you. We offer funeral services to both members and non-members, as space and availability allow. Please contact our office to discuss arrangements, schedule a service, or receive pastoral care.

St. Paul’s Columbarium
Since the mid-twentieth century, we have provided space for the cremated remains of parishioners beneath the altar. We are now offering a permanent resting place for our loved ones within the grounds of our spiritual home in a beautifully crafted columbarium. The monument is located in the large alcove in the enclosed walkway between our church and Parish Hall. This accessible location ensures that our loved ones are at the center of our daily life and remain in our hearts and minds for generations to come.
The Columbarium was built by parishioner and master carpenter Rob Whelan. The design is simple and elegant, with a single Celtic cross at the center. The primary material is quarter sawn white oak with a marine-grade finish to ensure durability and longevity. It can accommodate 80 niches, each about one foot cubic and bearing a bronze name plate. Each niche is $2,000 ($1,500 of which is tax-deductible) and has ample room for two cremains.
If you are interested in purchasing a niche or would like to see detailed plans, please call the church office by phone (707) 433-2107 or email.
