Cremation and Traditional Burial with Mausoleums
The Romans established the term “mausoleum” after seeing the extraordinary tomb built in the third
century at Halicarnassus which honored King Mausolus of a nation that is part of Turkey today. This
tomb has become one of the seven wonders of the Ancient World.
Mausoleums are used as a tribute to a lifetime memorializing a family’s goals and achievements. They
also serve to continue the recognition the family has received in its lifetime to remain in the hearts and
minds of one’s remaining family and community. Mausoleums are complete, sensible investments that
provide the assurance of a quiet resting place requiring little ongoing maintenance that will last for many
centuries. In addition, as mausoleums are above-ground memorials, the entombment will remain clean
and dry, and maintain the symbolism of the honorable principles which the family represents.
Mausoleums are typically constructed of granite which can withstand the elements of time and are
resistant to abrasion, staining or other damage. The granite walls and roof are also free of
maintenance. Stainless steel dowels and anchors that are non-corrosive put the structure together so
adhesives are not used. These advanced techniques ensure the inside of the mausoleums will be clean,
fresh and dry.
There are also walk-in mausoleums that have stained glass windows and bronze doors. A private
vestibule can be included which provides visitors with a meditation area that is secluded and offers
protection from inclement weather. The vestibules can also contain altars, resting areas, flower shelves
or other personal memorials. This kind of mausoleum design provides a special place to which future
generations can go to appreciate their past.
Mausoleums are considered one the best forms of burial. There is a measure of tranquility that a
mausoleum provides that cannot be derived from other memorials. Family pride is symbolized by the
granite that is rich in color and by the inscriptions that are personalized. Mausoleums provide a
personal, private structure for paying tribute to the memory of loved ones that are simple and elegant in
design.
Family mausoleums can also be an investment that is sensible for the future. If they are placed before
the time when they are needed, they can save on estate taxes. Because of the above ground design,
the expense of burial vaults is eliminated. Because the mausoleum is a structure that stands as a tribute
to an entire family, there is no need for additional memorials, markers or headstones. In due
consideration, the investment in a personal of family mausoleum is a worthwhile expenditure.
Before considering the installation of a mausoleum, a private estate lot in a cemetery is required. Private
estates are allowed by most cemeteries but some older cemeteries may not have sufficient space for
private estates. The funeral director or company creating the mausoleum can be helpful in this regard.
