The main difference between a single niche columbarium and a double niche columbarium is the number of urns that can be accommodated in each niche. A single niche columbarium can only hold one urn, while a double niche columbarium can hold two urns.

Single niche columbariums are typically smaller and less expensive than double niche columbariums. They are a good option for individuals or couples who want a simple and affordable way to inter their loved ones’ cremated remains.

Double niche columbariums are a good option for families or for individuals who want to be interred with their spouse or other loved one. They are also a good option for those who want to save space.
