Columbarium

The Catholic Community of Ascension and St Augustine is pleased to offer an attractive Columbarium on the St. Augustine campus.

A columbarium is a sacred ground where you can respectfully inter the ashes of those you love and want to honor.  It is a beautiful place to visit and to rest. It is also a green alternative to a cemetery burial because it requires less space and fewer financial resources. On average, a columbarium interment is 65% less expensive than the average cemetery burial. 

Niches are available to house urns, which come in three different styles, two per niche. We currently have niches available for your family’s planning needs           

Another way to remember a loved one or commemorate a special life event is to purchase a bronze tribute plaque (see below) to be mounted on our tribute wall.

The Columbarium Wall of Remembrance is a wonderful and prayerful way to memorialize a loved one, an anniversary, or a special dedication. The Wall is located on the St. Joseph’s side of the Columbarium. 

Please note all funds raised in our columbarium go exclusively to maintaining the Columbarium and our historic Cemetery. Contact the office for details on the Wall or any questions. Call 410-796-1520.
