Definición

  • Columbarium (plural columbaria, columbariums) refers to a structure designed to hold the cremated remains of multiple individuals. The term derives from the Latin columba, meaning “dove” or “pigeon,” because the remains are placed within individual recesses that resemble those of dovecots.
