The hidden columbarium in a valley

                    Would you notice that it is a columbarium?

It took me a while to locate the cash crypt at Immaculate Concepcion Heart of Mary in Taktay Road in Antipolo City.  Nestled in a depression in the mountainous area beside the church is the columbarium   From the church, or from the entrance, you would not suspect that there is a columbarium.  Nicely built, nicely designed/planned and executed.

                            Hidden in a valley

                   40 x40 cm x 70 ash crypts facing the outside

               Inside concentric ash crypts of only 3 levels

                    Outer ring is of 5 levels

                   The inner ring faces a plaza

          The exhaust vent at the rooftop for natural ventilation
