The Town of Balgonie is considering implementing a Columbarium at the Balgonie Cemetery.

A Columbarium is a structure with built-in niche spaces that store cremation urns, with the potential for each niche to hold up to two (2) urns. Each niche will have a plaque that serves as an identifying marker with your loved one’s name(s), date of birth and date of death. They offer families and friends a place to remember and visit loved ones who have passed away.

On average, niche’s are priced anywhere between $1,500-$2,500 in surrounding communities, and can hold up to 2 urns per niche.

The Town of Balgonie is collecting responses with regard to implementing a Columbarium at the Balgonie Cemetery.
