Columbarium Memorials in Philadelphia Tri-state Cemeteries
The rise in cremation has led to new preferences for interment and memorial structures. The private columbarium is becoming a highly requested option for housing family memorials. A columbarium is a granite monument that is divided into niches which hold urns and memorial markers. These structures offer a modern alternative to urn burial while still providing a traditional cemetery resting place. Built from durable granite and metals, a private columbarium grants structural integrity and dignified visuals to a family burial plot.
A columbarium offers versatility, customization, and security for your family’s legacy. High quality materials and advanced anchoring and locking systems ensure long-lasting endurance for multiple generations of visits. Columbarium consultations often extend to the larger family so that the right configuration can be determined for everyone’s needs. During our discussion, we will review the options such as:
- Niche capacity and unit options
- Traditional solid granite doors or elegant panels that allow for urn viewing
- Distinctive architectural rooflines and artistic features
- Customized options for polishing, engraving, portraits, scenes, borders, and lettering
- Integrations with headstones, family plots, and mausoleums
Investing in a private columbarium establishes a centralized gathering space for descendents into the next generation and beyond.

We strive to compassionately guide families through the emotional and practical processes involved with this multi-layered decision.
