Our lightweight engineered resin niche requires a smaller foundation than a concrete or steel columbarium, reducing foundation cost. We designed our system to be easy to install using facility personnel or a local contractor. No heavy equipment is required for off-loading, assembly, or installation.

How to Install a Columbarium?
First, a Columbarium begins with a design plan using the Everest CAD niche specifications for the columbarium. Everest recommends using an architect or contractor who has visited the site. This person develops a unique design that is suitable and complementary for the space available. The contractor has often done prior work at the church or cemetery and is licensed in that state. Churches and cemeteries who start with a columbarium design plan have successful and beautiful outcomes.
Second, with a plan in place shop drawings for each configuration are produced by Everest. The contractor/mason builds the cabinets based on the Everest shop drawings. The shop drawings provide exact dimensions, tolerance, and weight of each configuration with cremains.
Third, the niches are assembled into the desired configuration on a level surface and the frame attached. The configuration slides into the cabinet opening created by the contractor and is attached in the rear.
Fourth, the faceplates are attached. The beautiful Everest urns that come inside each niche purchased should be stored in a safe location until needed for inurnment at the columbarium.
