San Francisco Columbarium

Description:

• This ornate four-story building looks more like a modern day urban castle than a burial vault. Some of San Francisco finest families, or rather their ashes, are housed inside, including the Turks and the Eddys. In addition, The Columbarium features a collection of unusual urns and caskets, including the infamous cookie jar urn. The marble-lined space with lovely stained glass windows also has remarkable accoustics, making the concerts performed here on a regular basis a real treat. Admission is free.
