Waterside
Introducing a tranquil new space for scattering ceremonies, memorialization and contemplation
Our new Waterside Pier, Memorial Monument and Terrace offer beautiful, complementary spaces to memorialize a loved one.
The Waterside Pier on our ten-acre lake offers a communal space for a scattering ceremony, a beautiful way to return to the elements. Ashes may be scattered in the lake or along the lakeshore. Along with the pier, Waterside offers a terrace for ceremonies and our granite Waterside Memorial Monument, a striking sculpture where a life can be memorialized with an engraved plaque.
