High-quality mausoleum craftsmanship and granite carving techniques are explained in detail in the Rome Monument 2023 video series titled "The Essential Buyers Guide To Private Family Mausoleums".
Pictured below is a large granite building with places for the above ground entombment of the bodies of the Pappan family of Pennsylvania.
The external free-standing building shown here is a stately and magnificent monument that encloses the interment space (burial chamber) for the deceased members of the Pappan family.
The Estate Mausolem Pictured Above Was Commissioned By the Pappan Family And Designed By Vince Dioguardi Of Rome Romument
Rome Monument sells and designs unique estate mausoleums and custom community walk-in granite mausoleums to families, churches and cemeteries located throughout the US.
Large family mausoleums can be designed with decorative non-functional doors.
Other family mausoleums are designed by Vince Dioguardi as private walk-in structures, that have working entry doors, often made with granite and bronze, that open up to reveal a tranquil interior room, foyer or indoor vestibule.
Pictured below is a walk-in 12 crypt family mausoleum with an oval accent added above the entry doors.
The mausoleum was created using tiffany grey granite and the size of the walk-in mausoleum is 20'-11" x 14'-0" x 15'-0".
A walk-in mausoleum is a private eternal resting place where living family members peacefully reflect and cherish the love they have in their hearts for beloved relatives that have passed away.
Walk-in family mausoleums provide shelter, privacy and comfort to family members that are visiting a grave site to pay their respects to family members that have passed on. The average design and construction time for a private family mausoleum ranges from 3-12 months.
Get ideas for gravesite visitations here or learn what to do when you visit your family's walk-in mausoleum by watching this 2019 video produced by Rome Monument.
Rome Monument also sells in-stock pre-assembled 1 crypt and 2 crypt mausoleums.

In Chapter 2 of The Essential Buyers Guide to Private Family Mausoleums, you’ll learn about the types and prices of mausoleums for sale. There are three basic types of mausoleums: Above Ground Burial Vaults, Garden or outdoor Mausoleums, and estate walk-in and non-walk-in mausoleum buildings.
How Private Mausoleums Are Commissioned, Designed, Built, Delivered And Constructed By Rome Monument In The United States In 2023
The St. Louis Cascade Mausoleum which was built at a cost of $5.3 million, was recognized by the 2022 Architecture Awards and won an honorable mention.
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.

In Chapter 26 of The Essential Buyers’ Guide to Private Family Mausoleums, we’ll give you a step-by-step guide of how a typical mausoleum purchase works. Most Americans live in communities with cemeteries, but no monument company that makes mausoleums.
