Columbarium: A Final Resting Place in Black Mountain
The Columbarium at Black Mountain Presbyterian Church was begun as a part of our most recent building addition in 1993. The Session decreed that the Columbarium could not be a “moneymaking” operation of the Church. The committee reports to the Session via the Property Ministry Team.
