Columbaria

The columbarium at Alto Reste Cemetery is a free-standing unit designed to be a respectful and attractive resting place for cremated remains. Vases are available at Cemetery Services for those who wish to adorn the door of their loved one’s niche.

To ensure readability and aesthetics, Red Deer cemeteries adhere to professional engraving standards for the columbarium unit. Font sizes, styles and layout are consistent throughout each unit.
