Ownership and Control

With a private family columbarium, your family remains in control

​

• You determine design, inscription, and configuration

• You choose when and how additions are made

• You are not subject to shifting cemetery policies or usage restrictions

• You avoid group-rate pricing structures driven by institutional revenue models

 

Condominium/community-style columbariums are governed by cemetery rules, fee schedules, and regulations that may change over time. A private columbarium allows your family to establish a place of remembrance on your terms

 

A Place of Commemoration – Not Just a Niche

Condominium/community-style columbariums serve an important role, but they are often designed for efficient capacity rather than personal experience

 

A private family columbarium:

• Creates a dedicated space for multiple generations using keepsake urns as connectors

• Establishes a gathering place for remembrance

• Reflects intentional design rather than standardized layout

• Becomes part of your family’s legacy, not simply a location for ashes but becomes YOUR modern family cemetery plot

 

Flexibility Beyond the Cemetery

Unlike shared community structures, private columbariums offer expanded placement options

​

• Designed to fit standard cemetery plots

• Suitable for approved private property, farms, or family land. Also suitable for approved private use

• Portable and preassembled for relocation if needed

 

Your memorial belongs to your family – and your family determines where and how it is used

 

A Thoughtful Investment in Permanence

Choosing a private or community-style columbarium is not simply a purchase – it is a long-term decision about legacy, dignity, and family continuity

 

It offers:

• Greater autonomy

• Greater adaptability

• A single, enduring place for generations

• A new-style family cemetery plot
