Columbarium Definition
A columbarium is a freestanding or walled structure that is designed to hold cremated remains. The structure is divided into niches (small compartments) that hold cremation urns. Originally designed for cemeteries, todays columbaria are now also installed on college campuses, in university columbaria memorial parks, and in newly developed church columbarium garden settings.
As cremation statistics continue to rise across North America, cemeteries, churches and institutions are developing columbaria gardens, that meet the demand, commemorate life, and provide places of reflection that are relevant to the setting. Our leading columbarium manufacturing capability focuses on developing new and innovative columbaria designs that define columbarium meaning and accentuates the memorial experience.
A well designed columbarium garden not only provides memorialization, but it should also invite people into a comfortable and interesting environment to encourage its use. Thus our most successful products possess unique artistic form that fits well in the space. Thus the columbarium demonstrates contextual relevance to the surrounding landscape.
