Our Story
 

Welcome

Columbia Gardens Cemetery has been family owned for four generations, continuously since our founding in 1917. It has been described as Arlington County’s community cemetery. We invite our neighbors and area residents to walk our winding paths and enjoy the towering trees and beautiful gardens on our grounds.

Columbia Gardens Cemetery is multicultural and non-denominational.

Columbia Gardens is one of the few cemeteries in the Northern Virginia area that offers a wide range of options for memorials, including upright monuments and memorials, flat markers and private mausoleums.

Burial and Interment Options

In an era where cemeteries are often owned by corporations, our family has watched over Columbia Gardens for over 400 seasons – over 100 years. We have served as trusted stewards of the memories of families and friends. You are welcome to visit our grounds to be comforted, or to find a peaceful place for reflection, whatever the season.
