Columbarium Update June 2025

Posted: 6/11/2025

The U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Columbarium – the final resting place for many USNA graduates and their spouses since opening in 1987 – is now out of available niches.

  • USNA AA&F, in close partnership with the Naval Academy, is actively working on plans to expand the Columbarium. This Columbarium expansion project aims to ensure that those who wish to be inurned at the Academy will again eventually be able to do so. Their immediate plan involves the construction of a new 650 niche wall at the top of the hill, overlooking College Creek.
  • Project estimated at $2.5 million. $1 million has been raised with $1.5 million needed in additional philanthropic support for it to move forward.
