Funerals
Summerall Chapel is honored to host family and friends as they celebrate and remember the life of a loved one. We collaborate with local funeral homes to provide tailored services for campus members, alumni, and others connected to our Citadel community. If you would like to inquire about funeral services, please contact our office at (843) 953-5049.
Services in the Columbarium
Eligible individuals and their families who have purchased a niche and wish to host services at the columbarium may contact the Chapel office at (843) 953-5049. Only the following will be eligible for internment in the columbarium:
- Those individuals who have graduated from The Citadel and their designated family members.
- Enrolled students at The Citadel who die before graduation.
- Former students of The Citadel who did not graduate, but who were called to active duty and died while on active duty.
- Faculty or staff members with twenty-eight (28) years of service to The Citadel.
Eligible individuals or their families may reserve a niche by payment of the designated fees and the execution of required documents at the time of purchase. The honoree or the family of the honoree can stipulate the use of the second niche at the time of purchase. The right to use the niches may not be sold, assigned, or transferred in any way.
Each niche will be covered with a suitable plate, uniform in size, which shall be engraved with the name, dates of birth and death. Honorees or their families will have the option of selecting a niche at the time of purchase. Otherwise, niches will be assigned by the college.
For more information, contact Ms. Geri Jones, Administrative Assistant (843) 953-5049.
