Are There any Negatives to Installing a  Columbarium?

While columbaria offer many benefits, there are some potential drawbacks to consider:

• Initial Cost: Building a columbarium can be a significant investment, especially for larger structures.
• Maintenance: Columbaria require minimal maintenance, such as landscaping and structural upkeep.
• Public Perception: Some people may have reservations about having a columbarium on the property, particularly in residential areas.
• Regulations: There might be zoning or other regulations that restrict the construction or operation of a columbarium.
• Space Limitations: If the columbarium becomes popular, it may reach capacity sooner than expected, requiring additional planning.

It’s essential to carefully weigh these factors against the potential benefits before making a decision to install a columbarium.
