Family Columbarium Cost: Prices for 2, 4, 6, and 12 Niches

A family columbarium is a private granite monument with niches reserved for one family — a permanent alternative to buying individual spaces in a cemetery wall. Because we publish our prices, this guide can give you real numbers rather than 'call for pricing.'

Published Prices by Size

• 2-niche granite columbarium — from $5,260: the entry point for a couple; the compact monument version is $6,511 and the classic monument $7,056
• 3-niche arched-top columbarium — $7,940: room for a couple plus one, in a single elegant arch
• 4-niche arched-top columbarium — $10,587: two generations in one monument
• 6-niche family columbarium — $16,423: the most popular family size; three couples or six individuals
• 6-niche serpentine-top monument — $61,026: an architectural centerpiece in premium stone
• 12-niche estate columbarium — $122,052: several generations under one gabled granite roof

What the Price Includes

Every unit is cut, polished, and engraved in our own Los Angeles workshop. For our twenty California service cities, delivery and professional installation on an engineered foundation are part of the quoted price. Out of state, we quote freight up front before you commit.

The Factors That Move the Total

• Granite selection: nine stones from Carrara White to Indian Black Premium; rare colors carry a premium
• Niche fronts: granite fronts are standard; bronze and glass are upgrade options
• Engraving program: a family name across the cap, individual name panels, emblems, and portraits are each priced by work time
• Site work: an accessible, level lawn site costs less to prepare than a slope behind mature trees

Cost per Niche Falls as Size Rises

Two niches at $5,260 works out to $2,630 each; six niches at $16,423 is about $2,737 each with far more granite per dollar; and even the estate-scale 12-niche unit buys a monument no cemetery wall can match. If your family may grow into more niches later, buying the larger unit once is almost always cheaper than adding stone twice.

Ways to Manage the Budget

We offer 0% financing for up to twelve months, a price-match guarantee, and a free 3D design preview with two free revisions — so you see the finished monument on your own site photo before any stone is cut.
