Aluminum niches are the weatherproof innovation you’ve been looking for.

When the weather gets tough, aluminum is tougher. Our aluminum niches systems are non-porous and non-corrosive. It doesn’t rot, rust, curl, dry-out, crack, or deteriorate with age. It doesn’t develop rust streaks. Aluminum has become a superior alternative to stainless steel, and far superior to the all-granite columbaria assembled and imported from overseas. How?

Aluminum Niches generate more niche spaces per footprint than traditional materials like concrete or granite.
Non-tapered niche interiors can be built to any dimensions that customers want.
They’re easy to install.
They’re built for all weather conditions.
Aluminum is competitively priced.

Aluminum also provides the protection you need.

All of our niches have individual granite shutters.
Rosettes with tamper-proof stainless steel screws are used to secure the exterior granite doors.
Our proprietary niche system is designed to drain any water in the unlikely event that water gets into the interior of the system.
An aluminum theft-deterring security shutter is included with every niche and accessible only with a keyed locking system. It’s twice the security you’d get with most other niches.

You lock your front door every time you leave your home. It shouldn’t be any different for a loved one’s urn.

100% of our Outdoor Columbarium have Locking Niches. CMC Niches have the leading security and vandalism protection system, providing significant protection against unauthorized or forcible access to urns and personal mementos.

Aluminum Beats Steel or Granite Hands Down.

Aluminum offers the exceptional durability, strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel or granite, with better security, drainage, climate resistance and installation ease than either material. It’s a better value, and a better long-term investment.
