City receives new columbariums for Riverview Cemetery

The City of Green River has received and placed two new columbariums at Riverview Cemetery after filling most of the three existing structures. Brad Raney, Parks and Recreation Director, says the two new Columbariums will hold up to 98 cremains.

The Riverview Columbarium Gardens is located in the Southwest corner of the cemetery. Raney says the two new structures were placed next to an existing one so the city did not have to pour a new concrete sidewalk. The Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for the upkeep of the cemetery. Raney says the two new structures cost $38,000. He says it will take about five years to fill the niches. Each niche has two slots for urns.
