In 2010, the Cypress Cemetery Association undertook the largest project in the cemetery’s 377 year history when it constructed Sections 8 and 9 in the south west corner of the property adjacent to South Cove.  The photos below show the installation of the 36 “double depth” vaults in Section 9 that were installed along the eastern fence line down by South Cove. The last three photos show the construction of the unique and custom built columbarium cases, each with 16 niches that have room for two urns.  In larger cemeteries, a field of vaults might be positioned according to survey and then back-filled in order to create a large plot area.   Most columbariums are designed as vertical walls.  The uniqueness of the Cypress site allow us to design something really original.
