Many families tell us they’ve heard the words niche and crypt, but aren’t quite sure what the difference is. These terms can feel unfamiliar, and that’s completely understandable.

A niche is a smaller space designed to hold an urn after cremation and may be located in a columbarium or memorial wall inside a mausoleum or in an outdoor garden setting.

A crypt is a larger space designed to hold a casket and may be located inside or outside a mausoleum.

Learning about your options can make planning feel more comfortable and informed. If you ever have questions, we’re here to help guide you.

When making cemetery arrangements, it’s important to know that not all cemeteries are the same.

Charges can vary widely for items like grave spaces, opening and closing, and memorials.

To ensure your heritage is in the right hands, we recommend getting itemized quotes from more than one cemetery so you can clearly compare what’s included and make the best decision for you, your family, and your legacy.

If you ever have questions, we’re here to help.
