Columbarium

columbaria), also called a cinerarium, is a structure for the reverential and usually public storage of funerary urns holding cremated remains of the dead.

[2] The Columbarium of Pomponius Hylas is an ancient Roman example, rich in frescoes, decorations, and precious mosaics.

Examples of these are the columbaria in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris and Golders Green Crematorium in London.

This practice allows survivors to visit the temple and carry out traditional memorials and ancestor rites.

In the Beit Guvrin area several series of large caves dug into soft rock were found.
