Which of the following is NOT typically included in a columbarium?

A columbarium is a structure specifically designed to house cremated remains, with individual compartments called niches where urns are placed. This means that spaces for traditional casket burials are not part of a columbarium’s design or function. Instead, traditional burials occur in cemeteries, where designated plots are allocated for caskets.

Niches for cremated remains, prayer alcoves for remembrance, and memorial plaques for deceased individuals are all features that enhance the memorialization of those whose remains are stored within the columbarium. Hence, these elements align with the purpose of a columbarium, whereas spaces for traditional casket burials do not fit within this setting.
