Niches
A Lasting Tribute in a Thoughtfully Designed Space
A niche offers a dignified and lasting way to honour a loved one’s memory. Designed to hold urns containing cremated remains, niches are housed within a columbarium – a freestanding structure that may be located indoors or outdoors, depending on the cemetery setting.
What Is a Columbarium?
A columbarium is a structure composed of multiple small compartments, known as niches. These structures are thoughtfully placed in serene, landscaped areas or within peaceful indoor settings, offering families a quiet place for reflection and remembrance.
Types of Niches
Niches come in a variety of sizes and configurations to suit individual and family needs. Availability may vary by location and columbarium design.
- Single Niches: Designed to hold one urn.
- Double Niches: Accommodate two urns placed side-by-side.
- Family Niches: Larger compartments that can hold multiple urns, allowing generations to be remembered together.
Niche Front Options
Niche fronts are available in a range of materials, each offering a unique aesthetic and memorial experience:
- Marble, Wood or Bronze: These solid fronts offer a timeless and elegant appearance, often paired with engraved plaques or bronze nameplates.
- Glass Fronts: Typically found in indoor columbaria, glass-front niches allow the urn and personal mementos to remain visible, creating a more personalized tribute.
Outdoor niches may also feature granite or bronze memorialization, blending beautifully with the surrounding landscape.
