Mausoleums

About Mausoleums

Mausoleums are often thought of in the context of ancient history, as a tomb where kings or royal leaders were buried. They remain a relatively common burial option and are a great alternative to the more traditional monuments. Mausoleums are typically used for more than one deceased person, such as a couple or a family, where all members can be housed under the same structure.

​A mausoleum is typically made from concrete or granite, although marble or tile can also be used to build this type of structure. Aside from their beautiful and ornate appearance, they are also a great alternative to the typical ground burial or cremation. Mausoleums are very welcoming and feel like a special, personal place that loved ones visit. This type of memorial allows for visitors in any weather as well due to it being a housed, above ground burial.

​Family members often provide granite benches or other decor for the inside or immediate exterior of the mausoleum to make the space feel more comfortable and easy to visit. There are many ways to make this type of monument feel special for your loved ones, and it is a great alternative option to the traditional burials.
