Questions to Ask When Selecting a Columbarium Provider

Choosing a provider is a significant decision when planning a cremation memorial. Whether purchasing in advance or at the time of need, it’s important to ask the right questions about features, policies, and long-term care.

If you're considering a columbarium Columbus placement, clear information from the provider helps ensure the experience is respectful and transparent.

Key questions include:

• What is the niche made of? – Durable materials like granite or steel offer better long-term protection.
• Is maintenance included? – Ask if perpetual care is provided or if future fees may apply.
• Are there visitation rules? – Find out access hours and any seasonal restrictions on visiting the niche.
• What customization is allowed? – Learn about engraving, urn styles, and display regulations.
• What are the size options? – Understand niche capacity and whether companion urns are supported.

Asking these questions early can help you feel confident in your selection and avoid unexpected issues later.
