There are 2 options for Columbarium walls located on the eastern side of Manly Cemetery.
Garden of Remembrance Columbarium Wall
The original columbarium is set out with four walls and two columns making up the semi-circular design of the memorial. Within each wall or column there are a number of single-sized or double-sized niches for the interment of cremation ash remains. All niches in the wall have been pre-sold.
Granite Columbarium Wall
A new columbarium, gardens and signage have been delivered at Manly Cemetery. The project was made possible thanks to funding from the NSW Government Crown Reserves Improvement Fund.
Within each wall there are up to 80 single-sized niches for the interment of cremation ash remains
Niches in the new walls are now available
