ST HELENA'S COLUMBARIUM
St. Helena's Episcopal Church is the first church in Boerne to resurrect the ancient burial custom of placing the ashes of the dead in special recesses of a wall. The Columbarium at St. Helena's is a black granite wall on one side of the church's bell tower and surrounded by a newly built memorial garden. The garden enclosure of wrought iron and rock, which matches the rock on the original building, surrounds a pathway dotted with plants and statuary, and a cave waterfall ending with a sparkling stream. Benches are available for those who desire to pray and meditate.
