Burial in a Columbarium

Interment in a columbarium is when a cinerary urn is placed in a niche. Columbaria can be indoors (in a mausoleum) or outdoors. Niches in an indoor columbarium can be glazed, allowing the urn to be accompanied by decorative items or photographs reminiscent of the deceased. Like crypts, niches in an outdoor columbarium can be personalized with engraving and ornaments.

Burial in a Crypt

Crypt interment is the insertion of a casket into a crypt, inside a mausoleum, which provides an indoor space for meditation protected from the elements. The outer surface of the crypt can then be personalized with engravings and ornaments.
