Bohemian National Cemetery


Behind the main doors of the Bohemian National Cemetery chapel is this entrance hall. Both sides are lined with bronze doors, behind which are urns containing ashes. This is a columbarium, which derives from the Latin word for dovecote. The chapel features four columbarium sections: the main entrance hall, a parallel hall to the east, a parallel hall to the west, and a small room in the basement.


Directly ahead is the main chapel area.
