This question involves too many factors behind the scenes, and providing a random quote would be irresponsible. If you need a Columbarium in the future and want an accurate price, Mr. Luo (Sales Manager at HuaHeng Columbarium Factory, Jiangxi, China) suggests first clarifying the following aspects.
Where Will the Columbarium Be Used?
Today, columbarium units are mainly used in crematories, funeral parlors temple underground chambers, ancestral halls, public cemeteries, and town memorial halls. The target user group varies by location, so the selection criteria also differ.
Government-affiliated institutions such as public cemeteries, crematories, and memorial halls focus primarily on service provision. They usually opt for mid-to-low-end products without extravagant designs. On the other hand, temple underground chambers and some privately operated cemeteries are commercial ventures that aim to serve the public while maintaining profitability. These entities often prefer mid-to-high-end Columbarium products to enhance perceived value. Ancestral halls, which store urns of members from the same clan or village, typically operate on limited budgets and tend to choose economical options.
Product Specifications
Standard single Columbarium niche dimensions are usually 400mm (W) × 300mm (H) × 300mm (D), while double niches measure 700mm (W) × 300mm (H) × 300mm (D). These sizes adequately accommodate most urns. However, if there is a need to store personal belongings alongside the urn, greater depth may be required. Similarly, if larger urns are common in the region, increasing the width should be considered.
Product Style
It’s helpful to review common styles before defining specific requirements. Key considerations include:
One-piece construction vs. modular aluminum profiles
Integrated lighting features
Incorporation of Buddhist or other cultural elements

Once you have a basic idea of these three factors, you can get a rough estimate of the cost. Why only a rough estimate? Because product selection is just the first step—final pricing also depends on onsite spatial conditions, installation location, layout spacing, and other practical factors.
Therefore, it’s difficult to provide an exact price for a columbarium without understanding all project requirements. Ultimately, the cost depends on what you need the product to be and to do.
