The Cathedral Columbarium
To protect the Cathedral Columbarium during the Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Project, the Columbarium will be deconstructed, stored safely and re-built at a later date. The Cathedral Chapter wishes to advise families who have loved ones’ ashes interred in the Columbarium, that the ashes have been respectfully removed with appropriate prayers and placed in appropriate secure storage at the Transitional Cathedral. Families are welcome to visit the Transitional Cathedral, should they wish to visit, to pray, and pay their respects.
