Facing Pelhamdale Avenue in front of the Huguenot Memorial Church located at 901 Pelhamdale Avenue in the Village of Pelham Manor is a quiet and beautiful Columbarium. A photograph showing the entrance to the Columbarium appears below.

A Columbarium typically is described as a vault with niches for urns containing the ashes of deceased persons. The Columbarium at Huguenot Memorial Church is a quiet and beautiful spot with lovely memorial plaques that reflect members of many families involved with the early development of the Village of Pelham Manor.



Among the memorial plaques is one dedicated to members of the armed forces who died during the two World Wars. The memorial plaque, which hangs high on the stone wall to the left as visitors entered the arched gate to the Columbarium states:

"IN MEMORIAM
