Julian of Norwich Anglican Church, the location of St. Richard’s Columbarium on Merivale Road, has been the peaceful resting place for our loved ones’ cremated remains since 1995.

Our community has initiated a project to replace the 1960s-built church structure with a contemporary facility to accommodate a wide range of community programs and worship.

The Columbarium will be relocated in 2022. Families with a direct connection to the Columbarium will receive a letter explaining the process and will be asked for a decision on options being made available.

If you are, or know of a direct family member who has not received a letter by December 1, 2021, contact us in one of the following ways:
