7 g Resting place for

ashes in a forest garden

Among victims of the
ever-shrinking supply of

urban land

are our
cemeteries — once the
traditional last resting place
of the departed.

As a result, there 1s,
today, a growing trend to
cremation. But how do you
“memorialize” a deceased
person's ashes?

An answer that many
bereaved families of all
faiths and nationalities will
find in harmony with their
beliefs and tastes has

recently been provided by
the creation of the North
Shore Heather Colum-
barium, set among lakeside
gardens on a forested hillside
overlooking Vancouver
Harbor.

It comprises single and
companion niches for the
permanent storage of ashes.
and a perpetual care trust
fund, guarded by the
provincial Office of Con-
sumer Affairs, assures
ongoing maintenance of the
Columbarium Gardens for

all time.

Memorialization of ashes
in sealed niches is a time-
honored practice throughout
the world. It is accepted and
encourged by most religious
doctrines and non-secular
and fraternal orders.

The Heather Colum-
barium Gardens are
operated by North Shore
Crematorium Lid... 1505
Lillooet Road, North
Vancouver (980-3451), from
which further information
can be obtained.
