The Saint John Neumann Columbarium and Memorial Garden is a sacred resting place on holy ground for cremated human remains, a place for our loved ones to rest until our Lord comes again, a place at home in our beloved community and Church. The Columbarium offers a very peaceful place for you to come and pray and ask God to intercede for our loved ones. The opportunity is here for you to purchase one of a limited number of niches in our Columbarium.  

Please contact Mike Crowell at the church office 770-923-6633 or at 470-508-9845 for more information.

The Church prefers the burial of the body but does allow cremation.  In cases where cremation is planned, the church urges that if possible, the body be present for the funeral Mass with cremation taking place afterwards. However, if cremation takes place before the funeral Mass, cremated remains may be brought into the Church for the funeral rites. Whenever a Catholic is cremated, the remains are not to be scattered.

Perpetual Care - The Code of Canon Law requires the Catholic Church to perpetually maintain its places of burial. Therefore, an endowment account has been established per Archdiocesan guidelines to assure proper and perpetual care of the columbarium.

Security - Proximity on constantly occupied, well-lighted Church grounds assures optimum security. 

Convenience - With your final resting place only a few feet away from the Church, your family and friends attending Mass will not have the inconvenience of driving to another location for an occasional visit to pay their respects.

Serenity - Our columbarium design offers a serene, peaceful environment for meditation and quiet reflection.
