About
With a growing segment of the population preferring cremation and desiring a location to permanently inter urns, Oakwood Cemeteries offers solid granite, above-ground columbariums. These stunning 64-niche designs contribute to the beauty and prestige of the grounds.
Columbariums provide a permanent and public location where loved ones know urns will be respectfully held and protected and where any family members and friends can visit a final resting place. We have recently added a new columbarium wall on the chapel lawn along with a new concrete walk way.
Each columbarium niche holds two cinerary urns, providing a permanent, public location for your loved ones’ remains. Chapel View columbariums provide an outdoor setting at the front of the beautifully restored George Healy Memorial Chapel. In addition, columbariums are placed inside the chapel for the more private setting some may prefer.

Columbariums are at both Downtown and East Cemeteries

We understand how important pets are in our lives and our need to honor their memory. Therefore Rochester Cemetery Association has a Pet Memorial Garden at Oakwood East Cemetery which is located on Viola Road. We offer burial plots, urns, caskets, and memorial markers for your beloved pets.
