What is a family columbarium?

It is a special burial grave. In effect, the funeral urns are buried, so this is indeed a grave, despite the fact that the body of the deceased was cremated.

Smaller than a conventional vault, a family columbarium can still accommodate the urns of deceased members of the same family. This is the most suitable alternative to keeping funeral urns in a columbarium.
To protect the urns from water damage, this cremation monument often includes a concrete slab sealed by a plaque. In addition, a family columbarium usually consists of a tombstone and a stele on which the names of the deceased can be engraved.
