In Chapter 18 of the 2023 Essential Buyers’ Guide to Private Family Mausoleums, you’ll learn why it’s important to have high quality granite for your mausoleum so it will look beautiful and last a long, long time.  
 
Mausoleum construction starts at the quarry, where high grade granite is extracted from the earth and sent to mills to be cut and processed.
 
High grade granite is ideal for use in the construction of mausoleums because:
 
  • Has high quartz content, making it hard, strong, and durable. 
  • Is non-porous to resist moisture getting into the walls and weakening the structure. 
  • Resists cracking and crumbling by dampening vibrations from any ground movement. 
  • It has a smooth, even surface with no cracks, pits, or bumps. 
  • Has unique colors and vibrant patterns.
 
Cheap granite will only diminish your valuable investment because:  
 
  • Comes from overseas quarries in places like China (even offered by some disreputable companies here in the United States)  
  • Has a lower quartz content, making it softer and less durable. 
  • Can be porous, letting damaging moisture in.
  • Often has uneven, cracked, pitted surfaces. 
  • Appearance is uninteresting and dull. 
 
Before you purchase a mausoleum, find out where the construction company gets its granite.
 
Because if the granite isn’t of the highest quality, your mausoleum won’t be either.
 
Rome Monument is a US mausoleum construction company, mausoleum contractor, mausoleum designer and mausoleum builder with over 89 years of experience.
