The Columbarium walls are beautifully designed memorials for your final tribute, located in the Garden of Remembrance at the historic Manly Cemetery.

The Garden of Rememberance Columbarium is set out with four walls and two columns making up the semi-circular  design of the memorial. Within each wall or column there are a number of single-sized or double-sized niches for the interment of cremation ash remains. All niches in the wall have been pre-sold.

New Manly Granite Columbarium Wall 

A new columbarium, gardens and signage have been delivered at Manly Cemetery. The project was made possible thanks to funding from the NSW Government Crown Reserves Improvement Fund.  

Within each wall there are up to 80 single-sized niches for the interment of cremation ash remains

Niches in the new walls are now available
