The Fray Leopoldo Sanctuary in Granada capital has inaugurated a columbarium within its facilities, offering a new space for the deposition of ashes and addressing the growing need for such services in religious temples.

The installation, developed in collaboration with the company Columbaris, aims to provide a suitable and privileged place for devotees who wish their remains to rest in the sanctuary. This initiative arises in response to a significant increase in demand for columbaria in churches since the pandemic, driven by the need for new spaces for ashes.

"To bring the life of prayer, penance, and service of Fray Leopoldo closer to his devotees, offering them the possibility of being deposited in this columbarium, regardless of their origin, and in such a privileged place, with views of the high altar."

Fray Ismael Medina · Sanctuary manager
The company Columbaris has strengthened its presence in the ecclesiastical columbarium sector through its brand 'Boxtomb' and its technological platform Boxsale. The latter facilitates the commercialization of spaces through professional channels such as insurance companies and funeral homes, ensuring an efficient and accessible process for families.
Collaboration with experts has been crucial for the project's execution, allowing the contracting to be delegated to a professional sales channel. This ensures that the expected national demand can be met, while maintaining an affordable price for any family interested in this service.
According to the company, the increase in demand for these facilities not only responds to the need for new ash spaces but also to the search for solutions that allow temples to diversify their funding sources. Columbaris offers facilities to churches, including the possibility of covering up to 100% of the project cost and assisting in the commercialization of the columbaria.
Currently, the company has the support of various religious institutions that have trusted its expertise to carry out important projects. Their goal is to find suitable locations that improve service to families and honor the memory of their loved ones.
