Effortless Memorial Planning with Eickhof Columbaria

In the early stages, a columbarium project can seem daunting. We’re here to guide you as you navigate this new endeavor.

We’ve prepared everything you need to begin. Use our guide as the framework for your memorial project. As you move through each stage, you’ll find related articles and product information. We hope you find these resources helpful as you decide who your memorial partner will be.

Discover what you can expect throughout your project planning in the guide below.

BUILD YOUR TEAM

First, you’ll need to build your team. They will speed up your project and give support. Include people who have skills or experience in:

  • construction, contracting, or engineering
  • fundraising or marketing
  • communication or leadership

Next, you’ll need to select a columbarium manufacturer who will be your partner and guide you through the project.

UNDERSTAND THE ROLES

Once your team is in place look at the roles to the right. Are there any gaps?

If there are – you will want to consider whether you need additional services and expertise. Generally, the larger the project, the more likely you will want to involve an architect, a landscaper, or a contractor.

We are here to guide you at every stage.

BREAK DOWN THE TASKS

Columbarium projects are much easier when you break them down into tasks.

  • consideration
  • design
  • management
  • fundraising
  • installation

We understand it’s hard to get started. That’s why we created the Discovery process to identify what is more important to you, where the strengths in your team lie, and what your next steps should be.

IMPLEMENT THE TIMELINE

Even though every project is different, our experience has shown they all fit a general framework. Some tasks are dependent on finishing the previous task, but in other areas work can be done on multiple fronts at the same time.

STEPS TO YOUR SUCCESS

Our approach, simplified as the 4D’s, makes your columbarium project much easier.

  • DISCOVER
    We find out what is most important to you by diving deep with surprisingly simple questions!
  • DESIGN
    Watch your vision take shape and understand what separates the splendid from the mediocre! We will also share how factors in the design carry through to the management and perpetual care of your columbarium.
  • DELIVER
    The fun and easy part! With the understanding of what is really important to you and a strong design – your columbarium will be built, delivered, and installed by your trusted partner who has been there with you from the very beginning.
  • DURATION
    We are here for you long after our installation team pulls away. Supporting you and the success of your columbarium with urns, inscriptions, and marketing help as you need it.

We’d love you help you transform your space!
