The seven acres, park-like setting, afford more than adequate parking. The large comfortable chapel is on the main floor level and is wheelchair accessible. The mural, entitled “The Adventure of Life”, at the front of the Chapel was designed and erected by local artist, Jim Marshall. Each raw brick was painstakingly sculptured, numbered, fired and then mortared together on the chapel site. The mur
al depicts the four stages of life—baby, child, young adult and old age. The main building is a turn-of-the-century home built by William James Shannon in 1906.
