Since 1842, alumni, trustees, and friends of Saint James School have forged life-long relationships with the institution that has played a defining role in their lives and the lives of their children and loved ones.  For many, the heart of that relationship has been the Saint James Chapel and the spiritual life that springs from it.  In baptisms and confirmations, daily chapel services and holiday celebrations, Commencement blessings and funeral rites, the School has marked significant moments throughout the journey of life for countless members of this community.  For this reason, we are proud to offer alumni, trustees, and friends of the School the opportunity to choose Saint James as a final resting place at the conclusion of their journey.

Situated behind the chapel, under the shade of campus maple trees, the Saint James columbarium is an elegant, secluded alcove designed to reflect the spirit and tradition of Saint James.  The columbarium contains 60 niches, each fashioned to hold the ashes of one or two people.  In the center of the space is a restful space for remembrance, reflection, and prayer.  This serene location affords Saint James families the opportunity to select their final resting place behind the altar of the chapel that has played such an important role in their lives – the Altar of God that connects heaven to earth, and life to death.
