The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a columbarium niche configured to store one or more urns holding a deceaseds cremated remains. The columbarium niche includes an improved niche cover having a stone inlay inserted into a cut out portion of the niche cover and personalized and design engravings on the stone inlay. The stone inlay is easier to read and find due to a contrast in color and/or stone and eliminates the need for a conventional plaque on the surface of the niche cover. The personalized and design engravings on the niche cover from sandblasting or laser engraving add value due to the uniqueness, improved quality, and modern look.
