Choosing a final resting place for a loved one is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Whether you’re planning ahead or facing a recent loss, understanding the differences between a columbarium and a traditional burial can help you make a meaningful, informed choice. At Larmina Corporation, we offer both options — designed to honor every family’s unique needs, traditions, and values. Our memorial parks are available in Olongapo City, Dinalupihan, Bataan, and Iba, Zambales, while our columbarium and crematorium are located in Olongapo City.
What Is a Columbarium?

A columbarium is a serene, dedicated structure that houses niches—small spaces that hold cremation urns. These can be located in peaceful garden areas, chapels, or indoor memorial spaces. Columbariums offer a compact, respectful, and lasting alternative to ground burial, and are often chosen by families seeking a modern, space-efficient, and cost-effective memorial solution.
Benefits of a Columbarium:
- ✅ More affordable than traditional burials
- ✅ Ideal for urban and space-conscious families
- ✅ Beautiful, clean, and secure indoor or garden settings
- ✅ Offers pre-need options for future planning
- ✅ Can include family niches for generations
What Is a Traditional Burial?

A traditional burial involves placing a casket in a burial lot within a memorial park. This option offers a more familiar, time-honored way of memorializing loved ones. Families often choose this for its deep cultural, religious, and generational significance.
Benefits of Traditional Burial:
- ✅ Allows for larger family plots
- ✅ Physical space for headstones, monuments, and tributes
- ✅ Suitable for families who prefer full-body interment
- ✅ Offers opportunities for personalized grave site visits
