Will add Columbarium term in #28.
Will add FuneraryUrn term in #29.

The property you're looking for is #containsGrave, which links a #Dead_people_place to a #Container_for_human_remains.

So you'd get:

<graves:Columbarium rdf:about="#oneWall">
 <graves:hasPart>
  <graves:Monument  rdf:about="#oneNiche">
   <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">Niche 1</rdfs:label>
   <graves:containsGrave>
    <graves:FuneraryUrn rdf:about="#Johnurn">
     <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">John's Funerary Urn</rdfs:label>
     <graves:containsRemains>
       <graves:Ashes  rdf:about="#JohnAshes">
        <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">John's Ashes</rdfs:label>
        <graves:hisRemains>
         <foaf:Person rdf:about="#John">
          <foaf:name>John</foaf:name>
          <graves:hasCommemoration>
           <graves:Plaque rdf:about="#JohnPlaque">
            <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">Plaque over the niche with John's Ashes</rdfs:label>
            <graves:inscription>John Lives Forever With England</graves:inscription>
            <graves:isPartOf rdf:resource="#oneNiche"/>
           </graves:Plaque>
          </graves:hasCommemoration>
         </foaf:Person>
        </graves:hisRemains>
       </graves:Ashes>
      </graves:containsRemains>
     </graves:FuneraryUrn>  
    </graves:containsGrave>
   </graves:Monument>
 </graves:hasPart>
</graves:Columbarium>

You'll notice the Plaque #JohnPlaque is related both to whom it commemorates #John and to the #oneNiche it #isPartOf. That allows you to either relate the semantics of the inscription or the physical monument is it attached to.

In this example, I assumed you wanted to have individual monuments for each niche so you can a) give a full geosparql geometry using 3D space, b) an rdfs:label with some location data or c) you can relate each niche spatially to each other by using the Monument relators like graves:hasNorthFace or the geosparql properties like geo:sfTouches which allows you to specify relative measurements. Of course, the #Columbarium itself can have a full lat/long geometry to locate it.

Awesome 😀 Thanks Rob.

Closing in favour of #28
