🌿 INFORMATION EVENING – Proposed Columbarium Wall at Benburb Priory 🌿
The Board of Benburb Priory, with the support of the Servite Community, is exploring the possibility of creating a Columbarium Wall as part of a beautiful new prayer and reflection garden within the Priory grounds.
A columbarium is a specially designed wall containing individual niches for the placement of cremated remains. As burial space becomes increasingly limited and facilities for ashes remain scarce, this project would provide a peaceful, dignified resting place in the tranquil surroundings of Benburb Priory.
Currently, only Servite friars can be buried within the Priory grounds. The proposed columbarium wall would offer those with a connection to Benburb, as well as friends and neighbours of the Priory, the opportunity to have their remains laid to rest in this special place of prayer, solitude and community.
As this project is still in its early stages, the Priory Board would like to gauge community interest and hear your thoughts.
