What types of columbariums can you order from Memoria Columbaria?
Memoria Columbaria manufactures six columbarium formats in granite at 5916 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles: private single-family units, larger family columbariums, garden walls, pedestal columbariums, bench columbariums and fully custom designs. Each one is cut from solid granite, engraved in our workshop and delivered and installed across California.
Niche counts, panel sizes and granite colour are chosen per project, so a private unit for two urns and a garden wall holding dozens of niches are quoted from the same shop and finished to the same standard.

Questions families ask before ordering
How much does a granite columbarium cost in Los Angeles?
Memoria Columbaria catalog pricing runs from $375 to $122,052. A small private niche unit sits at the low end, and a large multi-niche family columbarium in a premium granite colour sits at the high end. The final number depends on niche count, granite colour, engraving lines and whether we install on site.
Do you deliver and install in Long Beach and Glendale?
Yes. Long Beach and Glendale are inside our regular delivery and installation area, along with Los Angeles and the rest of the California cities we serve. We set the foundation pad or work to the cemetery specification, level the granite and clean the site before we leave.
Can you engrave a columbarium that is already installed?
Yes. We engrave installed niche fronts on site with portable sandblast equipment and mask the surrounding granite so neighbouring niches are not damaged. You approve a printed proof of the exact lettering layout before anything is cut, because engraving is permanent.
Which granite colors can I choose?
We cut Bahama Blue, Black, Gray and Red granite. Each colour behaves differently under engraving: dark granite gives the highest contrast on sandblasted lettering, and lighter granite suits deeper V-cut letters. We will show you the colour on your own design in the 3D preview before you commit.
How long does a custom columbarium take?
A custom project moves through drawing, your written approval of the 3D preview, granite cutting, engraving, then delivery and installation. We confirm the schedule for your specific project in writing when the drawing is approved, because it depends on the granite colour, the niche count and cemetery access at your site.
Who installs the monument after it is made?
Our own delivery and installation crew sets the memorial. We handle the foundation or work to the cemetery specification, place and level the granite, seal the joints and remove all packaging. You are not left to arrange a separate contractor after the stone arrives.
