Each opening in a columbarium holds a single sealed unit called a niche. The niche is the compartment that actually receives and protects the cremation urn, and its construction determines how well the urn is preserved over time. CMV Fabrication manufactures columbarium niches in aluminum, with sealed compartments, weatherproof closures, and engraved faceplates that serve as the visible memorial for each individual interred.
CMV Fabrication's columbarium niches are precision-cut from aluminum and assembled into sealed compartments that keep the urn protected from weather, insects, and environmental debris. Each niche is fabricated to accommodate standard cremation urn dimensions, with custom sizing available for oversized urns or companion arrangements that hold two urns in a single compartment. The niche interior is smooth and unobstructed to allow the urn to be placed and seated without difficulty.
The faceplate is the visible front of the niche and the component that families and visitors see. CMV Fabrication produces engraved faceplates with names, dates, and optional decorative elements or custom artwork. Faceplates are secured with tamper-resistant hardware that allows authorized access for future interments in companion niches while preventing casual removal. Replacement faceplates can also be ordered through CMV Fabrication when an existing faceplate needs updating or correction.
CMV Fabrication supplies columbarium niches for new columbarium construction, for expansion of existing structures, and as individual replacement units. Cemetery managers, columbarium owners, and memorial garden operators can contact CMV Fabrication to specify niche dimensions, faceplate engraving details, and quantity requirements. Niches are delivered ready to install into the columbarium framework.
