We specialize in creating timeless spaces that honor loved ones while meeting the growing demand for cremation. Our unique 360-degree approach ensures a seamless experience, from project conception to completion.
What is a Columbarium?
A columbarium is a special structure designed to house cremation urns. Made from durable materials like granite, it includes a series of niches that hold individual urns. Often found in churches, memorial gardens, or cemeteries, columbaria offer a peaceful, final resting place for those who choose cremation.
While some columbaria are designed for multiple families or individuals, others are built specifically for a single family’s use. These individual columbaria can be custom-built to reflect the values, traditions, and life of the people it’s meant to honor while providing a private and intimate space for remembrance.
Types of Columbaria
At Travis Monuments we want to bring your own vision to life, which is why we offer a range of columbarium styles:
Free-Standing Columbaria: Ideal for cemeteries or memorial gardens, these structures stand alone and can range from compact to large-scale, accommodating many niches.
Wall-Mounted Columbaria: Often integrated into existing buildings or boundary walls, this option saves space while still offering a dignified resting place.
Indoor Columbaria: Perfect for churches or chapels, these offer year-round access and a climate-controlled environment for visiting families.
Outdoor Columbaria: Designed to blend with natural surroundings, these are often paired with landscaping, benches, and walking paths to create a peaceful reflection space.
Each type can be fully customized in terms of granite color, engraving, layout, and overall design.
Why Choose a Columbarium
When a loved one chooses cremation, families are often left wondering what to do next. Some choose to scatter the ashes in a special place. Others hold onto them at home. And while every choice is deeply personal, a columbarium offers a meaningful alternative that provides both permanence and a peaceful place for remembrance.
A columbarium gives families a permanent,designated space to visit, reflect, and feel connected, no matter how much time has passed. For many, having a dedicated place to honor their loved one brings comfort, healing, and a sense of closeness that scattering or storing at home may not offer. They are also an ideal solution for churches and cemeteries looking to support their communities in new, thoughtful ways. Whether in a church garden or set within a cemetery, they provide beauty, serenity, and purpose.
