I am always keeping my eyes open for pretty buildings that might be acceptable reception locations. We see this all the time but never knew what it was. I walked past it today, and we will not be having our reception in this columbarium. According to Wikipedia, a columbarium is a place for the respectful and usually public storage of cinerary urns (i.e. urns holding a deceased’s cremated remains). The term comes from the Latin columba (dove) and originally referred to compartmentalized housing for doves and pigeons.
