Cemetery

A "Living" Graveyard

Many people ask us if there are still plots available in our historic cemetery. Although full burial plots are no longer available, the church offers several options for the burying of cremains. Inquiries may be made in the Church Office.

History Day

On the first Saturday of May, Christ Church holds its annual "History Day" in conjunction with Old Monmouth Weekend. Costumed parishioners portray various persons buried in the cemetery, sharing their own particular history with the tour groups. Special speakers, such as Dr. Richard Veit of Monmouth University, give lectures on pertinent topics. Historic souvenirs and baked goods are available for purchase.
