CREMATION NICHES
Cremation Niches at the Saint Joseph Abbey Cemetery
720 cremation niches were added to the Saint Joseph Abbey Cemetery in 2019. These niches, located inside the Columbariums, can be found just past the cemetery entrance. Benches line the pathway of the structures, which are all named for Saints. (Read more about this by clicking here.) An expansion of 12 new columbarium units, with 1,170 cremation niches, is under way. Proceeds from the purchase of a niche support the needs of the Abbey and help maintain its communal life and apostolates.
