About This Location
The San Francisco Columbarium is one of the city's architectural treasures — a Neoclassical rotunda built in 1898 by architect B.J.S. Cahill, with stained-glass windows, mosaic floors, and thousands of niches rising through its sunlit levels. It is a designated San Francisco landmark, and one of the only places within city limits where your final resting place can actually be in San Francisco.
Preplanning here means choosing your niche in person — its level, its light, its surroundings — and reserving it at today's prices. For San Franciscans who want to remain in the city they love, there is nowhere else like it.
Services Offered
Every service can be preplanned and prefunded — locking in today's prices for whenever services are needed.
Funeral costs in California rise every year. Preplanning now means your family pays today's rates — guaranteed — regardless of when services are needed.
