Columbarium Niches
The Columbarium at Der Stadt Friedhof offers a dignified and permanent resting place for cremated remains. Surrounded by the tranquility of Barons Creek, these niches are crafted from high-quality stone to ensure lasting preservation. Niche's will be managed with the same level of care and respect that has defined our cemetery since 1846.
This will assist you in choosing your urn. The following dimensions reflect many commercially available urns. Please note that an urn is required and cardboard containers are not allowed.

The double inurnment urn sizes are for an average adult.

The interior dimensions of the niche are 11.25” wide, 11.25” deep and 10.75” high.
We can help you understand niche availability, urn requirements, and the options best suited for single or double inurnment. For guidance, current pricing, or help beginning the process, please reach out to us.
