Dedication of a Columbarium
-
Does anyone know whether there is a Mass for the dedication of a Columbarium? I presume there is a rite for consecrating a cemetery, but I have been unable to find anything along these lines for a Columbarium.
This is something we will need to sing in August, so any input would be most welcome. -
While failing to find a simple answer to your question, I came across this nice picture of two Catholic bishops, one latin rite the other byzantine rite, jointly consecrating a cemetery.

The 1962 rite for a cemetery is on this page. It seems to say that Mass will be the Mass of the day.
