The Columbarium
Use
of the Columbarium is open to all individuals, regardless of nationality,
ethnic or religious background. The portion of the Columbarium which
is still available exists in the gothic St. Ansgar's Chapel, designed
by Henry Vaughan. The more than 500 vaults, covered with the warm
hues of Rojo, Amber and Carrera marble, are situated under two great
stained-glass windows depicting Old and New Testament scenes.
The chapel itself provides
a quiet meditation space for those visiting the Columbarium and also
a suitable place for memorial services preceding interments. Family
and individual needs are provided for as the Cathedral continues to
be a house of prayer for all people.
