Columbaria – A Lasting Tribute
At Spring Valley, we’ve had the honor of helping families, churches, and cemeteries create meaningful spaces to remember and reflect. One of the preferred options is the columbarium, a lasting tribute for those who choose cremation. We are proud to design and install custom columbaria, bringing beauty, peace, and permanence to sacred spaces.
What is a Columbarium?
A columbarium is a structure consisting of small compartments called niches designed to hold one or more cremation urns. Often made from granite or other durable materials, columbaria can be designed for churches, gardens, cemeteries or a private space.
Some are created for shared use by multiple families or individuals, while others are created specifically for a single family’s private use. We help you choose the best approach for your needs and guide you through a design process that’s thoughtful, respectful, and tailored to your wishes.
Types of Columbaria
We take a tailored approach to everything we do, always focusing on the people we’re serving and the purpose behind each space. Every columbarium we design is created with care and intention.
As we guide you through the process, we help you explore the style and setting that best reflects your vision. Some families are looking for a peaceful place surrounded by nature, while others prefer a space within a building or chapel. No matter your needs, we offer several types of columbaria that can be fully customized to fit your space and preferences.
Indoor Columbaria are typically located within mausoleums, churches, chapels, or dedicated memorial rooms, offering shelter and year-round comfort for visitors.
Outdoor Columbaria are thoughtfully designed to blend with natural surroundings, offering a serene resting place in gardens, courtyards, or cemetery grounds.
Personal Columbaria are private structures designed to hold urns, providing a lasting and personalized memorial space for loved ones.
Community Columbaria are shared structures that hold urns and provide families with an affordable, sacred space to memorialize their loved ones.
Our team will help you choose and customize an option that best reflects the setting and honors the lives being remembered.
Why Choose a Columbarium
For many, choosing a columbarium offers a way to keep the memory of loved ones close. While some may choose to scatter their loved one’s ashes, others prefer keeping them in a dedicated space. Many churches and cemeteries find that columbaria provide a beautiful, space-conscious solution that blends tradition with modern needs. Built into quiet garden areas or incorporated into existing landscapes or buildings, they are designed to reflect the spirit of the community. Families value the space of connection where they can reflect, and honor the memory of those they cherish.
