The cremation niches in a cemetery niche bench are built into the bench body during fabrication, not retrofitted after assembly. Each niche is a sealed compartment sized to hold a standard cremation urn. The compartment is accessed from the front through a removable faceplate that locks into place once the urn is interred. This design keeps the urn protected while allowing the faceplate to serve as the visible memorial.
CMV Fabrication positions the niches within the bench structure so they do not compromise the seating surface or the bench's structural load capacity. The niche openings are reinforced and sealed independently from the bench frame. Families using the bench as a seating area are supported by the same structural members that protect the niches below, and neither function interferes with the other.
