==Burials and memorials==
{{unreferenced|section|date=July 2018}}
Being a garrison church, St. Mary's contains many memorials of the British soldiers who served in various wars and battles. The stones and plaques commemorate many figures; prominent amongst them is the memorial of Brevet Lieutenant Colonel and Major [[William Morris (soldier)|William Morris]] of [[Fishleigh]], [[Hatherleigh]], [[Devon]], one of the few survivors from the [[battle of Balaclava]].

The church also houses the remains of [[Sir Robert Grant]], one of the queen's Most Honourable Privy Councillors and the Governor of Bombay. He was the author of a volume of sacred poems that contains some hymns which have found their way into modern hymnals. His most well-known hymn, "O Worship the King", based on [[Psalm 104]], is regularly sung at the church and is an anthem during the church's anniversary.

The church also houses the remains of [[Sir Edward West]], the Chief Justice of Supreme Court at Bombay, which was established in 1823 by the East India Company.

Beside the memorials and plaques, the colors of the [[25th Bombay Infantry]] are laid to rest there.
