COLUMBARIUM DETAILS NICHES • 8”x 8” companion style niches (sized for 2 urns). • Material: a honed granite or marble being discussed. • Looking into the feasibility of engraved names rather than a brass cover plate for

identification. • Contract with a mortuary to lead the relocation of current niches – notification and

communications prior. • Niche holders and designated family members will have the option to personally

move the urns.

CAPACITY • Currently 234 companion niches – 139 sold. • New Columbarium will be approximately 520 niches.

COLUMBARIUM DETAILS ACCESS • Direct access from inside and outside – through a secure vestibule.. • The church’s new site will have more green space adjacent to the building -

Columbarium access. • Prayer gardens, planters and pathways are envisioned as a part of the landscape.

CONSTRUCTION OF NEW COLUMBARIUM • Estimated at approximately $150,000 – includes structure, niches, finishes, and

amenities inside. • Expense shared by the Relocation Campaign, the Countryside Community Church

Charitable Foundation and potential donors who would like to enhance the interior space.
