Columbarium

What is a Columbarium?

A columbium is a maintained place to repose ashes (in an urn or other suitable container). Generally, each space or “Niche” is 12” high by 12” wide, and deep enough to accommodate two containers.  Each niche has a granite covering that may be custom engraved to memorialize the person(s) whose ashes are inside the niche. Niches are individually sealed and installed in columns and rows, with a brick or concrete base and finished sides.

Where is the Columbarium Located?

The columbarium is attached to the West side of the church, near the rose garden.
