Columbarium Niche Information

A columbarium is a specifically designed structure that respectfully houses cremation urns within individual niches. Our columbarium is provided to you as a dignified option for inurnment. Each niche also offers space for personal mementos that honor the life of the deceased.

ABOUT US

Located in the Memorial Circle, Section #9, the columbarium is a central feature of the cemetery. The Circle, built in 1940-1941 by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, is marked by a flagstone wall and a sundial at its heart. This peaceful space will eventually include three more columbaria and a surrounding walkway, enhanced with thoughtful landscaping and seating areas for visitors.

  • Niches measure 12” x 12” x 12”.

  • Four levels are available.

  • Niche can hold up to two urns, depending on the size of the chosen containers.

  • Burial Transit Permit is required for inurnment.

ENGRAVING

Engraving completed in one trip is $125. Engraving required later (additional name, date of death, etc.) is $125 for each additional trip.

TRIBUTES & MEMORIALS

Decorations may be placed in a designated area near the columbarium during the time of inurnment. Cemetery personnel will remove these items one week following the inurnment. Temporary attachments, such as tape, wire, strings, or stickers, are no allowed.

For a lasting tribute, a small flower vase that adheres to the niche face is available for purchase and installation through the Town Office for $125.
