Columbarium
Surrounded by a beautifully landscaped plaza featuring original artwork by renowned local artist Sabra Tull Meyer, the Columbarium has single and double niches available. Contact us by email or phone at (573) 449-6320 for more information.

Scattering garden
Another option is our Scattering Garden, located on the site for a former bandstand near the original burying ground of the 1800s.
Designed as an identifiable place to scatter cremated remains in peaceful setting, the garden consists of a bed of ferns and other perennial plantings, surrounded by a ring of cedars.
The names of those whose remains are left in the garden can be inscribed on any of several large stones that once formed the octagonal foundation of the bandstand. The scattering garden is a tasteful way to memorialize a loved one without going to the expense of a full burial or urn interment.
