Practical, dignified, and built to fit — our recommended urns are selected for compatibility, longevity, and ease of management.
While there are endless options for cremation urns, we recommend the sheet bronze urn for use in Eickhof columbaria. It is the most practical choice for space, economics, and long-term management — and it is the urn we have seen perform best across more than 1,700 installations.
Each sheet bronze urn measures 5½” × 5½” × 7”, and two urns fit comfortably into either of our standard niche sizes: the 12×12-inch niche and the compact 8×8-inch niche. For 8×8 niches, urns of this size are required.

Sheet bronze is our material of choice for its durability, resistance to corrosion, and timeless appearance. Unlike decorative ceramic or wood urns, bronze will not degrade over decades of storage inside the niche.
It maintains its integrity and its dignity for as long as the columbarium stands — which, in the case of an Eickhof installation, is built to be measured in generations, not years.
Whether you’re a small community church looking for a dignified memorial or a major cemetery planning a large-scale installation, there is an Eickhof columbarium designed for you.
Soft urns provide a practical and respectful solution for ossuarium interment. Designed for efficient placement and long-term compatibility, these flexible containers help maximize memorial capacity while maintaining dignity and ease of handling.
Unlike rigid urns, soft urns are lightweight, space-conscious, and ideal for shared ossuarium environments where simplified placement and organization are important.
Facilities often choose soft urn systems for their affordability, storage efficiency, and ability to accommodate a wide range of cremated remains within compact memorial structures.
Each is crafted with quality fabric, lined with plush satin, and includes a layer of batting to create a heavenly pillow-like appearance. Velvet or Satin exterior materials are available and each Satin Urn includes a tassel closure in your color of choice. Satin urns offer unique opportunities for customization and are the premium memorial option. Learn more with our Soft Urn™ Brochure.

We recommend pricing urns separately from the initial niche sale rather than bundling them into a single price.
If you prefer to include urn costs in the niche price, consider setting a fixed urn allowance at the time of sale. Any future price difference or customization cost can then be passed on to the family, keeping your program financially sustainable over the long term.
Whether you’re stocking urns for a new installation or reordering for an existing columbarium, our team is here to help. Contact us to place an order, ask about current pricing, or get recommendations for your specific niche configuration.
