An Alternative Form of Above Ground Memorialization The Columbarium is an alternative choice of memorialization individuals and families choose for their loved ones. Not only attractive and stately, the columbarium option offers a solution to the environmental approach to scarcity of land. The popularity of the above-ground cremation niche is evident that cremation is a practical means of a final resting place.
The Columbarium offers single or double depth or companion niches. Each niche front is pre-drilled for the mounting of a bronze memorial plaque. The Columbarium is often used as a central feature in cemetery sections.
