What Are Private Mausoleums, Public Mausoleums, Columbariums And Cremation Niches?

• One connotation of the meaning of a private mausoleum, is that a private "estate" mausoleum is a building for a single family, and as such, is not a public mausoleum where multiple families are buried. 
• The other primary meaning of the concept of a private mausoleum is that the building has a grand entryway or walk-in door (s), and a vestibule area where mourners stand or sit to reflect, and is therefore a private place in a cemetery. 
• A single crypt granite mausoleum, which is always built above ground, holds the remains of the deceased in a casket or cremation urn or niche. A 1 crypt mausoleum is also considered to be a private mausoleum because nobody else is buried in the mausoleum.
• Pictured below is a single crypt tiffany granite mausoleum designed by Vince Dioguardi that features a double case course consisting of two solid pieces of granite. 
• In Chapter 20 of The Essential Buyers’ Guide to Private Family Mausoleums, you’ll learn why mausoleums with a granite base course using architecture and construction guidelines are so important.
• The base course is a large slab of granite that rests on the concrete foundation, supporting the weight of the mausoleum and keeping it off the wet, unstable ground.

• A mausoleum is an external free-standing building constructed as a monument enclosing the interment space or burial chamber of a deceased person or people. A mausoleum without the person's remains is called a cenotaph.
• A public mausoleum or community mausoleum, is a very sturdy above ground building that is used to memorialize multiple individuals from different families. Public mausoleums can hold caskets or cremated remains, or both.
• Private walk-in mausoleums feature a secure indoor enclosure that remains clean and dry without ever letting the casket or vault come in contact with the earth.
• In contrast to a private mausoleum, pictured below is a public community cremation niche mausoleum that holds the remains of deceased individuals from multiple families. Cremated remains can be buried in columbarium. 
• Learn how ashes are buried in mausoleums and columbariums in this 2023 above ground interment and cremation niche video guide.

• Columbariums are structures designed specifically to house cremated remains. A columbarium can be an indoor structure or an outdoor garden-style building, they can either be public or private.
• Although they resemble a mausoleum, columbariums differ in the fact that only cremated remains are stored there. Columbariums can be very simple or quite ornate, it depends on the style of the cemetery.
• Similar to mausoleums, columbariums can either be in public buildings or private family rooms. Community or public columbariums may be indoor or outdoor buildings that host cremated remains for everyone.
• On the other hand, private columbarium rooms are private spaces dedicated for one family. These are entirely independent rooms that can be customized with features such as stained glass, unique materials, and more. Private rooms can accommodate as many members of a family.
• A columbarium is made up of all the cremation niches it holds. Cremation niches are used to house the cremation urns and just as mausoleum crypts, they come in different styles and options.
• A single niche is a personalized cremation niche that holds one urn. A companion niche holds two cremation urns and are often available in either side-by-side or tandem configurations.

Garden And Columbarium Blessed At St. Francis of Assisi In Raleigh, North Carolina

Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama blessed a memorial garden and additional columbarium at St. Francis of Assisi in Raleigh, North Caronlina on January 15, 2023.

The new columbarium section is located near the main entrance of the chapel with 616 new niches. The blessing took place under a strong sun that illuminated the space where the cremains of parishioners of the church would have eternal rest. According to Monsignor Clay, Catholics are increasingly choosing to be cremated. This has been particularly true since the onset of the pandemic. In 1997, the Catholic Church in the United States, with the approval of the Vatican, published guidelines to assist parishes and the families in the proper and reverent treatment of cremains. One of the main reasons why Catholics are choosing cremation is because it is seen as a more affordable option.

In 2023, Vince Dioguardi Is Designing Numerous Private Mausoleums For Prominent Families In The United States

Vince Dioguardi is the president of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-area Rome Monument, a company founded by his great-grandfather. He shares some of his proprietary custom granite gravestone design and construction secrets in this article titled "13 Secrets of Tombstone Engravers".

To design and build these stately walk-in style buildings on behalf of renowned U.S. families, Vince Dioguardi collaborates with client representatives, cemetery managers, burial park operators, public memorial garden personnel and columbarium and cremation niche providers.

Some of Vince Dioguardi's mausolem designs and cemetry monuments can be very elaborate. “Whatever that consumer can think of that they want to do, we can design it,” Dioguardi explains. That goes for the industry as a whole, not just his firm. “There’s a monument in Vermont that it’s a full scale Mercedes-Benz [made] out of a single block of granite,” he describes. The only thing that truly limits what kind of memorial you can design for your loved one is your budget— and your imagination.

The guy in Vermont who was memorized with a giant Mercedes-Benz sculpture isn’t a total outlier—a fair number of people ask to somehow incorporate cars or trucks. Many of Dioguardi’s clients request private mausoleums and memorials that incorporate themes like faith, family, hobbies, and career.

In 2022, Vince Dioguardi and the Rome Monument staff worked in tandem with green burial cemetery owners, granite quarries, funeral directors, cremation services and other monument builders to design, build and install very stunning new mausoleums.

You’ll learn how to plan, buy and build your custom family mausoleum…and how to buy your cemetery plots and land. When ordering a mausoleum pre-need, you pre-design, pre-plan and pre-pay for a truly high-quality monument prior to a passing and according to everyone’s wishes.

Pre-planning ensures that your family gets a mausoleum exactly the way you want it. 

 

Pictured below is a 2 crypt granite mausoleum designed by Vince Dioguardi for Walter R. Kasper and his wife, Margaret O. Kasper. It features a black cross at the top.

 

 

You don’t have to leave your gravestone’s design up to the people who outlive you: You can choose something for yourself before you go. “It’s extremely common here,” Dioguardi says. It’s called “pre-need.” That way, there’s no guessing or arguing among your family members about what you might want—it’s already determined.

Since 1934, the skilled craftsmen at Rome Monument have inscribed the deceased's name, date of birth, and date of death on the mausolems purchased by U.S. families. Rome Monument craftsmen often inscribe personal messages, lettering, epitaphs, sayings, quotes or prayers in granite mausoleums along with names, birth and death dates.

 

“A lot of consumers think this is all machinery-based,” Dioguardi says, but not all firms rely entirely on stencils and computers. Rome Monument uses an automated sandblaster for lettering, but also uses chisels and other tools to create mausoleums by hand. If a family comes in and asks for a mausoleum with a rose on it, one of their sculptors will actually carve that rose into the granite freehand.

How To Choose A Mausoleum Designer and Builder In The United States

 

Just because you choose a particular cemetery or funeral home doesn’t mean you have to buy a mausoleum directly from that company. “Cemeteries that do sell memorials make the consumer think that they have to purchase a memorial from the cemetery,” Dioguardi explains, but that isn’t the case.

 

You can commission a mausoleum from any designer, and then have it delivered and installed in the cemetery of your choice, assuming that they permit mausoleums.
