Columbarium
and

Memorial Garden

Find a

special memorial

and resting place

in one of the

256 niches that

make up our beautiful

columbarium.


The columbarium and memorial garden serve as a living memorial to those who have gone before us. As you enter the garden, there are six columns of split-faced stone, covered by a lovely vine-draped canopy and a beautifully-crafted, round columbarium featured on a pedestal.


The columbarium provides an above ground, unique resting place for you or your loved ones. The stone walls that surround the columbarium are adorned with individual engraved bronze plaques that memorialize those who are not inurned here.

The 64 new companion niches in the round columbarium are faced in beautiful rose granite.

Commonly Asked Questions

  • Do you need to be a member of the Cathedral of Hope United Church of Christ to take advantage of this opportunity?

    No—the memorial columbarium and garden are open to all, at the discretion of Cathedral of Hope.

  • How does inurnment in the columbarium compare with the cost of a traditional burial?

    The average cost of a traditional burial in Texas is approximately $10,000. Inurnment can cost as little as $1,000 for cremation plus the price of your selected niche.

  • Can a niche be reserved in advance of need?

    Yes, you may purchase a niche at any time under the terms of the guiding documents which govern the columbariam. Prior arrangements can also ease the burden so often left for others at the time of death.

  • How many urns will fit in one niche?

    Two urns will fit in one niche. Urn sizes are limited to 5” x 5” x 7”. Urns may be purchased through the church.

  • May I finance the fees?

    Yes. Fees may be financed at zero interest over a period of 24 months. A $500 deposit is required. You will not be able to select a niche location or inurn anyone in the columbarium until the fee has been paid in full.

    Top two rows of the round columbarium—$4,200 each

    Bottom two rows of the round columbarium—$3,600 each
