Every year, people in the United States are increasingly choosing cremation in lieu of earthen burial. Unfortunately, many churches find themselves lacking a way to honor those who have been cremated. If you wish to support your community members in the passing of their loved ones, Columbarium Planners can help. We design and construct beautiful, secure columbariums to provide sacred places for loved ones to remember those they have lost.
A columbarium is a permanent structure which houses the remains of cremated loved ones. The structure contains a series of niches which hold one or two urns each. Typically, columbariums are located outside of churches or in cemeteries. Often, columbariums incorporate gardens or other landscape features to create a beautiful, peaceful setting. Essentially, columbariums provide a place for loved ones to memorialize those who have passed in a serene, attractive setting.
The majority of columbariums are housed on church properties. This allows church and family members to honor their loved ones in a place with special meaning. Additionally, columbariums provide a meaningful, affordable way for churches and clergy to care for grieving members.
