Abstract: A columbarium includes a plurality of storage niches having a first shape and size and disposed about an outer surface of the columbarium. The storage niches form a center chamber having a larger capacity than the storage niches. One or more access niches provide access from an exterior of the columbarium to the center chamber. The access niche has a removable exterior element and an inner portion openable to the center chamber. A delivery system conveys remains from the access niche to the common center chamber. The columbarium has an inscribable designation section separate from the niches to memorialize those interred in the common center chamber. The designation section has a different, shape, size, finish, color or other characteristics to distinguish from the niches.

Abstract: A columbarium includes a concrete base and defines an inner core surrounded by niches mounted around the periphery of the inner core. An inner wall separates the niches from an open volume in the inner core. A lightweight core includes at least three spaced apart steel posts attached to the inner wall and the base and supports a capstone covering the open core and the plurality of niches. Base trim elements are adjustably mounted to the base. The columbarium may be preassembled at a remote location and transported for installation at the selected site.

Abstract: A columbarium having a framework of a plurality of horizontally spaced vertical risers and a plurality of vertically spaced horizontal members defining a plurality of niches arranged in substantially horizontal rows and substantially vertical columns. Each of the horizontal members comprises a front rail connected to a bent plate shelf. A plurality of shutters is removably mounted over the plurality of niches by a concealed mounting system. The concealed mounting system permits the shutters to be movable about three axes of rotation as well as vertically and horizontally with respect to the horizontal members.

Abstract: A columbarium having a framework of a plurality of horizontally spaced vertical risers and a plurality of vertically spaced horizontal members defining a plurality of niches arranged in substantially horizontal rows and substantially vertical columns. Each of the horizontal members has a substantially planar web extending between a front rail and a back flange. A plurality of shutters is removably mounted over the plurality of niches by a concealed mounting system. The concealed mounting system permits the shutters to be movable about three axes of rotation as well as vertically and horizontally with respect to the horizontal members.

Abstract: A concealed mounting system for columbarium shutters and the like. The mounting system includes a top clip and bottom hangers secured to a back side of the shutter. Vertically spaced upper and lower tracks are disposed behind the shutter at its upper end and a lower end. Each track includes a forwardly extending channel and a downwardly extending channel. A locking screw is received within apertures disposed substantially perpendicular to the forwardly extending channel. A nut threadably receives the locking screw and is disposed in the forwardly extending channel, whereby upon rotation of the nut, the locking screw is caused to move vertically with respect to a bottom edge of the upper track for engagement and disengagement with the top clip. The bottom hangers are operably supported by the lower track.
