Elegant Columbarium Niches

Columbariums in Auckland

Traditionally, many cemeteries feature large columbarium walls, providing a communal space for remembrance. However, at Auckland Memorial Park, we have reimagined this concept with a more intimate and personalized approach. Our columbariums are thoughtfully designed as smaller, mausoleum-like monuments, offering a refined and modern take on this historic tradition.

What is a Columbarium?

A columbarium is a lasting and dignified structure with niches designed for the above-ground interment of ashes, a tradition that dates back to ancient Rome.

FAQs

What’s the difference between a columbarium and a niche?

The columbarium is the structure. The niche is the nook in the structure for the ashes. Ash urns are placed within the niche and sealed with a granite front, which can be inscribed like a headstone or plaque, allowing families to create a lasting tribute.

Nestled in a stunning setting, each niche provides a private and meaningful space for remembrance.

Can each niche hold multiple urns?

Each niche can accommodate up to two sets of ashes, depending on the size of the urns, offering a serene and elegant final resting place.

A person may choose to purchase one or more niches for the interment of ashes and some may even wish to have an entire columbarium just for their family.

How much does a columbarium niche cost?
