What a Columbarium Is

After choosing cremation, many families wonder where their loved one’s ashes should rest. A columbarium in Lakewood, WA offers a permanent place to visit, remember and honor someone you love.

A columbarium is a structure made up of individual spaces called niches, each designed to hold an urn. Some niches have stone or bronze fronts, while glass front niches allow families to see the urn and display a few meaningful keepsakes inside.

Mountain View offers several niche options as part of our cremation options and keepsakes at our Lakewood memorial park. Below, we explain the choices and what may feel right for your family. You can also explore our cremation services to learn more about the support available.
