Since the law of December 19, 2008 on funeral legislation, the installation of a columbarium has been compulsory for all municipalities with more than 2,000 inhabitants, but the layout of this cinerary space is left to the discretion of each municipality.
To ensure that this place of remembrance is a haven of peace, its location within the cemetery's green spaces must be carefully considered.
The columbarium, a unique and highly aesthetic funerary monument
In various shapes, colors and sizes, columbarium offers a wide range of design possibilities. Inherited from Ancient Rome, the columbarium is a place of eternal rest where families can pay their respects to the deceased. Most columbariums are modular and made from the noble material of granite. The aesthetics reflected by these funeral monuments are conducive to the creation of a harmonious cinerary site, a place of remembrance where the feeling of intimacy must be preserved.
Now more than ever, the deceased's loved ones need to enter a humanized, welcoming space, where everyone can feel at peace. To manage their cemeteries, local authorities need to be able to create spaces that meet the expectations of their residents. Granimond is there to guide them in all their development projects. Specializing in processed granite since 1981, and leaders in the French market, we have advised and equipped over 7,000 towns and cities.
Columbariums and landscaped areas: the perfect combination
The columbarium is a place of memory, but also of life. Whether the cinerary space is vast or narrow, it must be designed to provide peace and quiet for every visitor. Located in the heart of green spaces, it can be enhanced by the installation of a columbarium.
To personalize this landscaped setting, Granimond offers local authorities a wide range of columbariums and accessories. With a strong commitment to the dignity and respect of families, we strive to combine design and aesthetics, in order to honor the memory of the deceased in pleasant and decent surroundings.
Our columbariums are all made from solid granite. This material, virtually unalterable over time, is used for prestigious monuments such as the obelisk on Place de la Concorde or the Lorraine Cross on the Charles de Gaulle Memorial. It has a polish and shine that catch the light, offering elegance and refinement to any cinerary space.
A place for sharing and remembrance, the landscaped areas of the columbarium can also be decorated with accessories to enhance and magnify them. Granite benches, fountains, hand-washing basins, inscription plaques, memorial tables or any other theme specific to the town hall - everything is conceivable and customizable to create a unique, timeless atmosphere.
Whether the vegetation is spontaneous or introduced by the local authorities, Granimond is committed to enhancing their cinerary spaces, in order to offer all residents a privileged, restful and serene place to reflect. To this end, Granimond offers a free personalized study to each commune with a project, including a 3D projection of the cinerary space as it could exist in its realization, having first discussed with the commune its precise needs.
