Here are some frequently asked questions about Mausoleums.
What is a mausoleum and crypt?
A mausoleum is a structure, typically a building, constructed to hold one or more mausoleum crypts. The mausoleum itself is the larger edifice, while the mausoleum crypt refers to the individual chambers or compartments within the mausoleum where caskets or urns containing the loved one are placed.
What are the different types of mausoleums available?
Various mausoleum options cater to diverse burial needs. Single crypts accommodate one individual, while family mausoleums allow for multiple family members to be buried together. Companion crypts hold two bodies, resembling double-depth graves. Columbariums house urns of ashes in smaller niches, and lawn crypts offer traditional in-ground burials with entombment. Sarcophagus mausoleums, with half underground and half above-ground structures, preserve the body beneath the crypt while creating a visually striking memorial.
