Memorialization Options
Cremations account for over 60% of the interments at the City's municipal cemeteries and continue to grow annually. In comparison to a traditional burial, the memorialization of cremated remains in a columbarium, or by act of scattering, is an affordable alternative.
There are various options to choose from when deciding on a cremation burial. The City of Niagara Falls Cemeteries Services offers a variety of columbaria to select from. Maple Grove, an area with nine columbaria and more to be added in the future, is located in a picturesque park like setting at Fairview Cemetery. Maple Grove is also home to our unique memorial pathway. Families wishing to recognize a loved one can purchase a flat marker that is installed in the pathway leading to the columbaria.
Stamford Green Heritage Columbarium is situated in the historic Old St. John's Church located on Portage Road. Constructed in 1825, this heritage designated building provides "indoor" columbaria that are accessible year round. In addition, a small area for a chapel service is also available. For additional information, visit the Stamford Green Heritage Columbarium page.
