The Batavia City Council, with community input, has selected artist Chad La Fever's "Eternal Flame" concept to adorn the Batavia West Cemetery Columbarium.
In the spring of 2023, the City of Batavia had sought proposals from artists to create a public artwork to adorn the columbarium. Three finalists were chosen and the community had the opportunity view scale models of the proposed artworks and to vote for their choice. "Eternal Flame" was the top vote-getter.
