Find your final resting place at the Bay Area’s most historic mausoleum

Located just north of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco stands the San Francisco Columbarium, the city’s last remaining interment location. Built in 1898, the Columbarium exemplifies the epitome of neo-classical architecture with its domed ceiling, mosaic tile floors, and stained-glass windows.

This historic landmark is a testament to the city’s history. It is one of the few buildings to survive the catastrophic earthquake of 1906, and it is the final resting place for Harvey Milk, famed San Francisco activist and politician.

“I met Emmitt at the mausoleum many times. He called the niches condos, saying the occupants had decorated the niches with personal items. Emmitt always found the time to give a tour to help families feel comfortable,” said Terry Arellano, founder and CEO of Cemetery Property Resales, Inc. “Our prices for niches are considerably lower than what the cemetery charges. Our sellers chose the columbarium for personal reasons and are passing along their low prices to the new owners.”

Several purchasing options are available at the San Francisco Columbarium through Cemetery Property Resales. Purchase a double glass front cremation niche for only $4,900 (cemetery price: $14,000).
