A columbarium is a structure designed to hold urns containing the ashes of cremated individuals. These buildings often feature niches or compartments where families can place the urns, allowing for a respectful and organized way to memorialize loved ones. Columbariums can be found in cemeteries, churches, or dedicated memorial parks. Typically made of stone or brick, columbariums may also include decorative elements such as sculptures or gardens. They provide a serene environment for remembrance and reflection, serving as an alternative to traditional burial methods. Many people choose columbariums for their space-saving benefits and the ability to visit a loved one’s remains in a peaceful setting.
