Crematorium Update
La Pieta Columbarium is not a single crematorium; rather, it is a structure that holds columbarium niches where cremated remains are interred, according to information from Ryan Funeral Service and Columbarium USA. The facility also provides cremation services, which occur at the actual crematorium within the complex, allowing for the production of the ashes that are then stored in the columbarium niches.
Top SpaceHere's a breakdown of the terms:Crematorium: This is the building or facility where the actual cremation of a body takes place, using high-temperature heat to reduce the remains to ashes. Columbarium: This is the structure, such as a wall or building, that contains small compartments called niches where urns holding the cremated remains are placed for storage and memorialization. La Pieta: This refers to the entire memorial park and chapel complex in Angeles City, Pampanga, which offers both memorial services and the facilities for cremation and columbarium storage. In essence:You would use the crematorium at La Pieta to perform the cremation, and then, if desired, you would use the columbarium at the same facility to store the ashes.
