The prayer garden of Godfrey First United Methodist church was registered as a cemetery with the State of Illinois for burial or scattering of cremains (ashes from cremation) in 1978 when the church was located on Grace Street. The church moved to a new building on Airport Road in 2009. Ashes buried at the Grace Street location were transported and reburied in the new prayer garden in 2013.

The prayer garden is designed as a place of prayer and reflection. No grave markers are located at the actual burial locations. A row of memorial bricks are placed facing the area of the prayer garden designated as the final resting place of the cremains.

In addition to the memorial bricks, a plaque in the church building lists the names, date of birth, and date of death of church members whose ashes are buried in the prayer garden.
