First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue Columbarium Garden
Bellevue, Washington
completed by Jamie Fleckenstein while at Berger Partnership
Two memorial spaces were planned on the church property. The Memorial Courtyard walls have built-in columbarium niches. A glass roofed structure provides shelter and seating. Sculptural elements throughout the courtyard offer spiritual comfort. The Scattering Garden is a more secluded space in a woodland setting. It was designed with a columbarium wall acting as a backdrop to a amphitheater for ceremonial gatherings.
