Mausoleum Burial
When considering a burial mausoleum to hold your beloved deceased, carefully consider the design of the mausoleum burial to ensure that your love and appreciation show in the structure, art, materials used, and the location of the site. These factors will not only determine the appearance and outward message of the cemetery mausoleum, but the cost. The burial mausoleum can be economical and the mausoleum burial a beautiful statement of love and deep loss at the same time.
A mausoleum burial is similar to any other cemetery burial. The burial in a mausoleum is simply an above-ground process compared to burial in the earth. The interment position of the deceased may be under ground level within the mausoleum, with the structure of the cemetery mausoleum primarily above ground. After burial services, the casket is carefully interred within the mausoleum by being carried through the doorway, if the mausoleum is a vestibule with windows and doors, or, in the case of a sarcophagus mausoleum with no openings, a crane may temporarily remove the roof or one wall in order to allow the deceased to be placed inside.
Mausoleum Burial Structure
Mausoleums can be placed on private property as well as in public or private cemeteries. The placement of mausoleums can affect their appearance and attract the notice of admirers as well as drive the costs up or down. In addition, the size of mausoleums can drive costs, yet larger mausoleums can hold more generations of family members, and over time can be more economical, as well as keep family together.
A burial mausoleum for a single individual can represent honor and respect as a family mausoleum cemetery can represent closeness. It is not uncommon to find a small group of mausoleums for the same family, with an individual burial mausoleum positioned alongside those in a family mausoleum.
The monument, and the placement and size of the mausoleum burial structure, tell tales of the love, appreciation, and devotion to our beloved deceased. Families carefully consider features to arrive at the right mix of statements that convey their love, their loss, and their faith to the world. All mausoleums are monuments of love, standing for future generations to keep the memory of those within fresh and alive in the world.
