The purpose of the Columbarium is to provide a place on the Church property for the permanent preservation of the ashes of cremation for registered Church members and their families.  The St. Philip the Apostle Columbarium is an answer to the age-old concern of the Christian community to participate in the proper disposition of the earthly remains of those who have shared the fellowship.  This is to be a place especially for those who love St. Philip the Apostle and have a sense of closeness to it, which they would like to preserve even after death.  It shall be hallowed ground, sacred to the memory of those who have departed from our midst.

Phase I of the St. Philip Columbarium was completed with the 2022 relocation of the parish to Flower Mound.  Plans are now in progress to expand the Columbarium and presale is available for niches in the next Phase of construction.  Construction of the Columbarium expansion will begin after sale of the first 175 niches, and in conjunction with initiation of the planned parish life center.

The planned expansion will add another wing to our existing Columbarium, extending the walls to make a more enclosed and prayerful space.  New landscaping and architectural elements will create a peaceful surrounding for visitors to the area, and the extended pavement will allow more families to conveniently attend interments.  270 new niches will be added in this expansion.
