United States — Cremation niches

Niches sized around
the urn, not the wall.

Single, companion and family niches with granite, glass or bronze fronts — for columbaria, mausoleum interiors and garden walls. Every front is trial-fitted in its own opening here and coded to it, so nothing is being sorted on site.

Single · companion · family Single or double depth Rosette, clip, glass or bronze fronts Engraved or blank Replacement fronts matched

Twelve niche types,
one order sheet.

Tell us the capacity, the depth and the front type. Everything else on the quotation follows from those three lines.

Capacity first,
then the opening.

The US standard adult urn runs about 200 cubic inches, but families buy what they like. Send the urn dimensions you actually sell and the cavity is sized around them — not the other way round.

Single Holds1 urn Opening12 × 12 in DepthSingle The volume line in most banks — one standard adult urn.
Companion Holds2 urns Opening12 × 24 in DepthSingle A couple behind one front, both names on the same shutter.
Double depth Holds2 urns Opening12 × 12 in DepthDouble For elevations with no room to go wider.
Family Holds4+ urns Opening24 × 24 in + DepthSingle or double Family groups, with space kept for later inurnments.

These are the openings most US banks are built to. A non-standard size costs no more when it is set before cutting starts — it is a drawing change, not a machining problem.

Four ways
to close a niche.

This choice decides how the bank looks, how it is opened for a second inurnment, and how much of the lettering work stays with your own shop.

Granite, rosette-fixedStainless screws through the face with polished rosette caps — the trade standard, easy to reopen
Granite, concealed clipNo visible fixings; the front sits flush and is released from behind or with a key
Glass or acrylicKeepsakes and the urn stay visible; granite surround carries the lettering
Bronze plateBronze face on a granite body — common on older banks and civic work

Every front fitted
before it ships.

Granite moves a fraction between panels. Each front is offered up to its own opening, numbered to it, and packed so it arrives with that number still on it.

A bank is one stone,
seen all at once.

Fronts sit side by side, so any shade drift is obvious. Blocks are reserved for the whole bank, and for the phase you plan to add next year.

OpeningsCommonly 12 × 12 in (305 × 305 mm) single and 12 × 24 in companion. Non-standard sizes cost no more if they are set before cutting starts.
DepthSingle depth for one or two urns; double depth for a companion pair front to back. Cavities cut square and cleaned out, not left rough.
FrontsGranite with rosette screws or concealed clips, glass or acrylic in a granite surround, or bronze on a granite body.
EngravingNames, dates and emblems cut here from your schedule, or fronts shipped blank and polished for local lettering.
ReopeningFixings chosen so a niche can be opened for a second inurnment without damaging the face — say which method your crew prefers.
PackingBodies and fronts crated separately, every front numbered to its opening and edge-protected.

Send the urn sizes
and the niche count.
