Glass-Front Niches

Our glass-front niches, located within the serene Garden Conservatory Mausoleum, Knollwood Mausoleum,and newly-installed in the Van Cortlandt Mausoleum, offer a beautiful and personalized way to honor loved ones. Each niche holds the urn containing the cremated remains and can be thoughtfully arranged with photos, mementos, and meaningful items that reflect a life well lived.

Choosing a glass-front niche allows families to create a lasting tribute in a peaceful, secure, and climate-controlled environment—an inviting space for reflection and remembrance.

Family Niches and Personalized Cremation Memorials

Built to personal specifications, family niches are designed to hold the cremated remains of one or more individuals. These memorials are an ideal option for those who choose cremation but still want a traditional, meaningful, and lasting tribute.

At Woodlawn, you can select ground property and work with the monument dealer of your choice to design a memorial that reflects your family’s vision. Whether it’s a custom memorial bench, private niche, or other unique structure, we provide the space and flexibility to create a truly personal place of remembrance in a peaceful, dignified setting.

Brookside Cremation Garden

Our Brookside Cremation Garden includes landscape niches nestled into the natural rock alongside the running brook or tucked into the wall of the bridge that spans the stream. Offering both in- ground and above-ground burial of cremated remains, niches are blended into the landscape or are nestled into natural rock alongside a running brook.

COMMUNAL SCATTERING

Cremated remains may also be scattered in a communal receptacle known as an ossuary within the Brookside Cremation Garden. A bronze name plaque placed on a wall near the ossuary permanently memorializes the individual.
