In Memoriam
THE ENGELMANN BELL
TOWER
Rising
above the Sanctuary, the Engelmann Bell Tower serves as a notable Park
Forest landmark. The tower was dedicated in 1963; the bells are rung at
the close of the Sunday 10:15 a.m. worship service, and are often
tolled at the end of funerals and memorial services held in the
sanctuary.

 MEMORIAL GARDEN
At
the foot of the Bell Tower stands the Faith Church Memorial Garden, an
outdoor burial place for the cremated remains (cremains) of members and
friends of Faith Church. Interment is directly into the earth within
the designated garden space, and once interred, cremains may not be
removed from the garden. The decedent’s name and full dates of birth
and death will be entered on a plaque inside the sanctuary building.

COLUMBARIUM
Inside the
Faith Church Chapel/Lounge stands the Columbarium, a vault to contain
the cremains. This is a cross-shaped, bronze plated, wood encased
structure located on the embedded stone west wall. After inurnment, a
brass plate with name and full dates of birth and death is entered on a
plaque inside the church.
Both the Memorial Garden
and Columbarium were dedicated April 23, 2006.
