What is a Columbarium?  

A Columbarium is an above ground structure where cremation urns are placed in individual or companion compartments called niches. It is a place for the respectful storage of cremation urns and a common alternative to ground burial. 

Columbaria may be free standing units, usually in an outdoor setting, constructed with concrete and granite; or, they may be built within a mausoleum building formed of walls with glass fronts.  

Penticton's Lakeview Interment Garden Columbarium is located at Lakeview Cemetery, 775 Lower Bench Road and overlooks beautiful Okanagan Lake and the city of Penticton . Providence Funeral Homes staff can explain the various columbaria choices available and answer any questions you may have.
