Just a few days after Found St. Louis posted about Charles Hermann and his stately house in Compton Heights, we walked right up to his columbarium in Bellefontaine Cemetery. How’s that for luck?

But this is a columbarium? It sure is small, isn’t it? As far as we can tell, the remains of the family after cremation are all placed in the space behind the door above, and the locked tight.

And as you can see from the three sides, it is a lot of people!

One interment is as recent as 2020, and there looks to still be room.

I like the use of Egyptian iconography on the monument.
