San Francisco Columbarium

The San Francisco Columbarium, constructed in 1898, is a neoclassical repository for cremation niches located in the Richmond District. It survived the city's early-20th-century cemetery removals and later underwent restoration and conservation work. The interior contains thousands of niches, memorials, and stained-glass features documenting local families and community history. The columbarium functions as an active memorial facility and is open to the public by appointment and during public hours.
