Columbrium

Our community church is considering a columbrium. That’s a structure to place cremation remains, in case you are not familiar with the word. Any takers would be a part of the commune for a long time. And, as usual it causes me to ask questions.

First, do you have to continue to pay club dues for eternity? And, what about the minimum utility bills they charge?

Because church buildings ultimately fall down or are sold, what happens if the church is turned into a skating rink or bowling alley? I’m guessing with the bowling alley, your ashes could be transferred to hollow pins.

What happens if the church building burns down? If the columbrium is close to the building, how are they going to tell which ashes are yours? You could get burned up twice. Maybe three times - if you go to the bad place.

I am going to talk to the preacher and tell him that if he can get a columbrium in the shape of a golf cart, it will sell out faster than a pop star concert.

Better yet, why not put one on every tee box?
