A columbarium is a structure designed for the purpose of interring cremated human remains in a sealed compartment. This compartment is known as a niche. Georgian Cliffs Memorial Park Cemetery has two, 40-niche columbariums that are constructed of mahogany granite with 20 niches on each side. Eastern and Western exposures are available. Each niche holds up to two urns of cremated remains. Niche dimensions are approx. 11 inches square. The lettering is one inch high Vermarco style, for maximum capacity, inscribed in the granite niche cover. White lettering, with a limit of 17 characters per line (including spaces) maximum six lines. All dates will be in this format only (1920-2005).

The cost of each niche includes two openings and two closings at time of interment; the names and dates of the deceased inscribed on the niche cover; lettering as indicated above; and (compulsory) perpetual care.
