COLUMBARIUMS AND LEGACY GARDENS

Legett Legacy Garden, Estes Park Center

CONNECTING GENERATIONS
For many families, visiting YMCA of the Rockies at Estes Park Center or Snow Mountain Ranch has been a regular tradition. People have grown up here and later brought their own children to experience this uniquely beautiful part of the world. Would you like to make YMCA of the Rockies your final resting place?
A columbarium is a special, sacred place where friends and family may gather for remembrance and prayer. We’ve created two unique settings in order to provide a final resting place for friends of the YMCA, consecrated and conserved in a spirit of dignity and reverence.
WHY A COLUMBARIUM NICHE?
Columbarium niches offer several advantages. They are sealed from moisture, which protects the urns and the cremains. They conserve land, offering a greener alternative; and they are typically more affordable. You don’t need to be a member of YMCA of the Rockies to purchase a niche.
WHY MAKE THIS YOUR FINAL RESTING PLACE?
Our columbariums will be maintained and honored. Your family and friends can make remembering you part of their tradition when they visit Snow Mountain Ranch or Estes Park Center. It’s a reminder of what was important to you in your life which will be a comfort to your loved ones.
WHY PURCHASE NOW?
Purchasing a niche ahead of time guarantees your spot. You could also reserve several niches for other family members so you can be together. Planning ahead eases the burden on your loved ones in the future. Plus, a portion of your niche purchase is tax- deductible.
WHILE TIMES WILL CHANGE, YOUR SPOT IN THE COLUMBARIUM CAN LEAVE A LASTING LEGACY FOR YOUR FAMILY.

Memorial Wall Plaques

The YMCA of the Rockies is a special place for many families. The memories and bonds formed often inspire people to make a tribute gift. Our Honor/Memorial Walls at both centers provide a place for loved ones or those who are close to us to be honored or remembered.
- The Estes Park Center Honorarium and Memorial Wall is located between the Pine and Aspen Dining Rooms.
- The Snow Mountain Ranch Honorarium and Memorial Wall is centrally located on the Program lawn.
With a 100% tax deductible donation of $500, those wishing to honor their loved ones may get a plaque engraved. Plaques can fit 90 characters (includes letters and spaces) and are approximately 5 x 2 1/4 inches.
