Columbarium

A columbarium is a respectful structure that has small spaces, or niches, to hold cremated remains of the deceased. Cremation has been allowed by the Church since 1963. According to the Order of Christian Funerals cremated remains (cremains) are treated with the same respect given to the body from which they came. The cremains should be buried in a grave or entombed in a mausoleum or columbarium.

Columbaria's are becoming a popular alternative for those who wish to memorialize loved ones outside the traditional cemetery. Our Italian design team and excellent fabrication process allows for endless options for custom columbaria.

Many parishes are building columbariums to offer parishioners a forever resting place on their sacred parish grounds. Many parishes are building custom columabriums and setting them in new, prayerful additions and or gardens on their properties.

Why A Columbarium?

Spiritual… The columbarium is a place where you and your family can be inurned in a religious setting.

Simplify… The columbarium eliminates the pressure of choosing a burial site, casket and monument. Inurnment and memorial service can be in one location. It also offers a practical and comfortable way to make advance plans relieving your family of making difficult decisions at an emotional time

Savings… A niche in the columbarium is significantly less expensive than an in-ground burial.

Location… The columbarium is located on the church grounds usually in a garden or prayerful indoor setting that will provide a place of beauty and comfort where family and friends can meditate, pray and remember.
