The Memorial garden at the church of the holy nativity
The Memorial Garden at the Church of the Holy Nativity, located on the makai (ocean) side of the church building, is a group of individual niches which contain the cremated remains of the departed. The quiet design of the Columbarium invites solitary contemplation as well as the gathering of families and friends for prayer and remembrance. Unlike remote cemeteries, the Columbarium offers constant reminders of the tender and eternal bond between the deceased and their church family.
The Memorial Garden at Holy Nativity contains 272 niches, about half of which are single niches, which hold the remains of one person, and about half double niches, which can hold the remains of two people.
