Frequently Asked Questions
What is EZ-Columbaria™?
EZ-Columbaria™ is our patented modular columbarium system for cremation niches, built on a proven, repeatable design. It installs quickly, scales in phases as a cemetery grows, and is engineered on our patented fiberglass structural system for exceptional durability. It is the standardized, fast-to-deploy counterpart to our fully custom glass-fronted and granite-fronted niches.
How is EZ-Columbaria™ different from glass-fronted or granite-fronted niches?
Glass-fronted and granite-fronted niches are built fully custom to your space. EZ-Columbaria™ is the modular, standardized system: a proven configuration that ships fast, installs with low site impact, and expands in phases. You choose it when speed, repeatability, and scalability matter most.
Can EZ-Columbaria™ be installed indoors and outdoors?
Yes, both. EZ-Columbaria™ is suited to indoor and outdoor settings alike, and it holds up in fully exposed outdoor locations and demanding climates where conventional materials struggle.
What makes EZ-Columbaria™ so durable?
The patented structural core does not corrode, rot, or spall the way conventional materials can, and it shrugs off the moisture, freeze-thaw cycling, and salt air that wear down poured concrete and masonry over time. With more than 1,000 installations across North America, the system has proven itself in the most demanding environments.
Can EZ-Columbaria™ be configured for families?
Yes. The EZ-Columbaria / Family™ line offers family-scaled units alongside larger community configurations, so a single system can serve individual niches and dedicated family memorials.
Can EZ-Columbaria™ be expanded over time?
Yes. The modular design lets you start at the scale you need today and add matching units later, so capital outlay tracks demand rather than running ahead of it.
Can the finishes be customized?
Yes. While the system itself is standardized for speed, the finishes are selectable, so each installation suits its setting and surrounding architecture.
How can families personalize a niche?
Each niche can be personalized with accessories such as E-Z Plaques™, lights, vases, bronze emblems, and photoceramic portraits, offered with or without a frame, so every memorial reflects the person it honors.
How are the niches secured?
Each niche can be fitted with an optional key lock, giving secure, authorized-only access for inurnment while keeping the front serviceable for the future. Security is offered as an option, never imposed by default.
How long does installation take?
Built to order and ready for installation within 60 days. Most small to medium projects complete on-site in about a week, with larger or more complex builds varying by scope.
What are the installation options?
Two options. Our team can manage the full project from design through installation, with a single point of responsibility throughout. Or, because the system is modular and lightweight, smaller projects can be installed by your own crew with our guidance. Many smaller operators appreciate that flexibility.
Can EZ-Columbaria™ help a cemetery use space better?
Yes. Because it is lightweight and modular, it turns underused areas into dignified, revenue-generating niche inventory, and you can add capacity in phases as demand grows. Paired with our EZ-Mausolea™ crypt systems, one Global Bronze team can serve both casket and cremation families on a single site.
