Columbarium Definition
A columbarium is a freestanding or walled structure that is designed to hold cremated remains. The structure is divided into niches (small compartments) that hold cremation urns. Originally designed for cemeteries, todays columbaria are now also installed on college campuses, in university columbaria memorial parks, and in newly developed church columbarium garden settings.
As cremation statistics continue to rise across North America, cemeteries, churches and institutions are developing columbaria gardens, that meet the demand, commemorate life, and provide places of reflection that are relevant to the setting. Our leading columbarium manufacturing capability focuses on developing new and innovative columbaria designs that define columbarium meaning and accentuates the memorial experience.
A well designed columbarium garden not only provides memorialization, but it should also invite people into a comfortable and interesting environment to encourage its use. Thus our most successful products possess unique artistic form that fits well in the space. Thus the columbarium demonstrates contextual relevance to the surrounding landscape.
Through collaboration and teamwork Sunset is proving to be a valued partner in developing customized columbaria designs that, not only attract attention, but exude quality and style like no other.
If you have the vision, we can build it.

Here is what our customers have to say…
Our project included provisions to add additional columbaria as the need arises. We expect the Sunset folks to be there when that happens.
Our faith community is so very happy with the final result, and with the proper planning you can too.
Our entire experience with Sunset Memorial & Stone, from the initial contact, through the planning and design of our columbarium, placing the order, making some changes and additions along the way, and finally the long-awaited delivery and installation, was a pleasure. Susan and Jeff kept us informed at all times of the status of our project, and Gord Leaf, President of Sunset, personally oversaw the three-day installation. The result has exceeded our expectations! Sunset has terrific customer service, their products are top quality and their pricing is quite reasonable- we would definitely recommend them to any organization considering the purchase of a new columbarium.
-Rebecca G
After sale was no different as they threw themselves into my project with vigor and I did not at any time feel like a "small" customer. They were and are always available even on weekends and right up to the President of the company with no hesitation. The product is now installed and FAR exceeded our expectations and the raves keep coming as people get to see what I was trying to accomplish. As one parishioner stated "The Columbaria and setting are so beautiful I can't wait to die!.
