Columbarium
The church columbarium is located in the Palmer Memorial Garden near the bell tower, a beautiful setting for quiet reflection and remembrance.
Palmer Memorial Garden
The Rev. Dr. James B. Palmer, Sr., faithfully served First Methodist in his retirement years, offering compassionate and dedicated pastoral care.
Jim led the effort to create the columbarium and memorial garden which was inspired by his vision.
In 2013, Palmer Memorial Garden was dedicated in honor and memory of Dr. Palmer. The garden and columbarium were made possible by gifts in honor and memory of Dr. Palmer and others.
Memorial gifts to the Columbarium Fund support the perpetual care of the garden.
