|
| How do you inter urns? |
|
Interment can be done by funeral personnel or your staff. |
|
Each niche has its own cover so that only one niche is uncovered during interment (unlike other systems). |
|
We provide extra face plates for rotation while original face plates are sent out for engraving so that there are no uncovered niches. |
|
Our columbarium system is designed with one face plate per niche, so only one niche is uncovered during interment. |
| |
|
| How do you secure the niches? |
|
We provide specialized tools needed to move the face plate and niche door. |
| |
|
| How will your face plates get engraved? |
|
Choice of Engraver: The face plates can be returned to us for engraving or sent to a local engraver. We include extra blank face plates to allow for off-site engraving. |
|
Sandblasting: This is our recommended form of engraving (over lasering) because of its depth and ability to hold a paint color. |
|
Lightweight: The face plates are 0.375" thick and are easy to handle. They are also individual to a niche (as opposed to systems that use one face plate for multiple niches). |
| |
Guidance: We can give you guidance on creating a standardized template for formatting your face plates. |
| |
|
| How much maintenance should you expect? |
|
The columbarium requires little maintenance. |
|
Granite and marble weather well and require virtually no maintenance. Limestone may mildew over time. Bronze will tarnish with time. We strongly recommend granite. |
|
If your columbarium location is exterior, you can wash the granite face with a garden hose as needed to remove any debris. |
|
If your columbarium location is interior, the granite face can be dusted or washed by hand with soap and water. |
|
The columbarium uses 100% stainless steel to eliminate rust stains. |
