🎨 Tour The Exquisite Columbarium (& Lunch afterward)
▪︎ PLEASE bring cash for your lunch.
🔆 Step inside the San Francisco Columbarium and you're transported through the decades into a sacred space where history, art, and memory converge. Built in 1898 as a resting place for cremated remains, it transcends its purpose to become a masterpiece of architectural grace. Its grand façade, adorned with intricate carvings and timeless detailing, draws visitors in to the realm of a grand rotunda that features intricate mosaic tile floors and a stained glass dome that floods the space with ethereal light. The baroque and Greco-Roman influences shine through in every detail, from the delicate railings of the upper balconies to the carefully designed niches that tell the stories of lives touched by triumph and tragedy -- from the 1906 earthquake to the AIDS epidemic. These tributes turn each corridor into a visual delight.
▪︎ Meet at 11:30 sharp inside the front entrance of the Columbarium.
▪︎ PLEASE don't be a no-show. If your plans change, remember to update your RSVP prior to the event.
▪︎ A late cancelation will count as a no-show.
