Eternal Light is a freestanding four-sided glass columbarium, indoors, in a lit corridor of the Eternal Light Mausoleum attached to the Chapel of Memories. Every niche is closed with glass, so the urn and what you place beside it stay visible, and every one carries 2 rights of interment — the larger units included.

SECTION 1

The Columbarium

Eternal Light is a freestanding glass-front columbarium, indoors. It is a four-sided case with a dark wooden cornice and plinth, standing on carpet in a lit corridor of the Eternal Light Mausoleum, which is attached to the Chapel of Memories, and you can walk all the way round it. Every niche is closed with glass, so the urn and the things a family places beside it stay visible.

Every niche carries 2 rights of interment. That includes the larger multi-row units. The bigger openings give a family more room to arrange, not more people.

It is the most varied of our glass-front locations. The niches are not a uniform grid: they run from single small openings up to tall units two rows high, and the prices run accordingly.

SECTION 2THE FOUR FACES

Four Faces, Clear Corners

Two broad elevations, two ends, and no niche wrapping a corner

A broad face, straight on. The empty niches are the ones still for sale.

The columbarium has four faces: two broad elevations (south, and the front, which faces north) and two narrower ends (east, at the front door, and west). The corners are solid, so no niche is visible from two sides at once; a niche belongs to exactly one face.

Choosing a Niche

What is actually on offer

An Eternal Light niche

Glass front · two rights of interment

A niche here is closed with glass and lit, so the urn and a photograph or keepsake beside it are part of the memorial. Size and height set the price.

Most niches here $17,595–$29,695 Full range $10,995–$82,500

The larger units

Glass front · two rights · more room to arrange

The tall two-row openings give a family a display rather than a shelf. They still carry two rights of interment, like every other niche here.

SECTION 5WHAT IS OPEN TODAY

What Is Available Now

A small, genuinely limited number

21 of the 85 niches at Eternal Light are for sale today. This is a finished columbarium in an established building rather than a brand-new one, so what is left is what is left. The sizes and heights still on offer are not evenly spread across the four faces. If a particular face or height matters to you, it is worth asking early.

Open the Eternal Light niche map to see exactly which niches are still available.

Ask before a face closes

Eternal Light is indoors and takes a few minutes to walk right around. Tell me the face and the height you have in mind and I will tell you what is open on it today, what it costs, and put it in writing with no obligation.
