Arlington cemetery columbarium;  columbary walls joined by arches for tunnel like effect.


I like this one from Tranquility Gardens Columbarium; raised structures, with pool (combines the 4 elements earth wind fire and water) simple and tasteful design:  The blog says that the designs blend with the environment and disappears in the horizon from various points of view.
