The memorial garden of Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church, located on the north side of the church’s front lawn, is a beautiful place to admire creation and commune with our heavenly Father. It was designed as a sanctuary for rest, meditation and prayer, visits with friends, an outdoor classroom or a setting for a small wedding. In addition, the garden is available for the interment of cremated remains in certain anticipation of their glorious resurrection promised by our Savior and King.
Nameplates
Featured prominently on the wall near the entrance is a large bronze plaque with names of loved ones in whose memory donations have been made to the Memorial Garden. To request a bronze nameplate to be installed on the Memorial Garden plaque, please contact the church office. Any gift over $250 will allow us to order a nameplate for the plaque with your loved one’s name and dates of birth and death.
Interment
The Memorial Garden is also available for the interment of cremated remains. It is our conviction that the body is to be treated with reverence and respect, even in death, until such time as the body of believers is resurrected on the last day (I Corinthians 15:42-44; I Thessalonians 4:16). For more information and application, contact jenniferthompson@lmpc.org.
