Learn how to select your mausoleum designer and builder and find out how to hire a mausoleum construction contractor in this 2023 video.

Before you order your mausoleum, find out where the construction company gets its granite. If the granite isn't of the highest quality, your mausoleum won't be either.

High grade granite is ideal for use in the construction of mausoleums because it has a high quartz content which makes it hard, strong and durable.

What Are Mausoleums? History, Styles, Types & More


The Gardens Cemetery & Funeral Home - A mausoleum is an above-ground, free-standing building that has crypts or any other type of burial compartments to hold remains


mausoleum is an above-ground, free-standing building that has crypts or any other type of burial compartments to hold remains.
 
They are found in many cemeteries, yet they vary in size, design, and purpose.
 
Some mausoleums can hold the remains of one person, while others are capable of carrying the remains of several family members.
 
Choosing the type of burial to memorialize your loved ones or yourself is a profoundly personal decision.
 
Burial options offer a valuable outlet to maintain the memories of your loved ones forever.
 
It can be hard to envision just what a mausoleum looks like if you have never seen one before.
 
Whether you are considering a community mausoleum, a garden mausoleum, or a private mausoleum, it may help put your mind at ease to see what each looks like in person.
 
The Gardens of Boca Raton in Florida, offers private tours and consultations.

The Various Types Of Mausoleum Crypts


If you are planning a entombment (burial in a mausoleum crypt), or are planning on entombing cremated remains, you have a number of options.
 
Types Of Cemetery Mausoleums
 
  • Indoor: A shared space where the crypts are located indoors
  • Garden/outdoor: A shared space where the crypts are located outdoors
  • Private mausoleums: Private spaces, where the crypts can be located indoors or outdoors
 
Types Of Mausoleum Crypts
 
  • Single crypts: Single crypts are the most common type of crypt in a mausoleum.  Single crypts contain the remains of one person in a casket. 
  • Side-by-side crypts: Side-by-side crypts are designed for two people. The caskets are positioned next to each other horizontally, and may each have its own engraved marker or the crypts may share a single large marker. 
  • Companion crypts or end-to-end crypts: Companion crypts are designed for two people, but only take the space of a single crypt. The caskets are lined up “end-to-end” and a single marker is shared. Companion crypts are the mausoleum equivalent of “double depth.” 
  • Westminster family crypts: Sometimes referred to simply as “Westminster crypts” or “family crypts,” this style of crypt can accommodate as many people as you’d like. Sometimes the arrangement is end-to-end crypts stacked on top of each other, and sometimes the arrangement is side-by-side crypts stacked on top of each other. Each person may have his or her own marker, or the crypts may share a single large marker.

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 ownersgranite quarriesfuneral directorscremation services and other monument builders to design, build and install very stunning new mausoleums.

Vince Dioguardi of Rome Monument Designs Mausoleums For U.S. Clients Pre-Need - January 12 2023
 

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.

Rome Monument pre-need programs enables individual and families to purchase a customized mausoleum before a funeral and burial occurs and pre-arrange the installation of the mausoleum in the cemetery in advance. Find out why customers order a mausoleum from Rome Monument before burials occur, here.

Mausoleums are above ground structures that contain the crypt or crypts of the deceased.

Mausoleums can be built by a quality mausoleum company in any style you prefer.

How To Plan, Design And Build Your Family Mausoleum From Design Concept To Cemetery Installation


In Chapter 27 of The Essential Buyers’ Guide to Private Family Mausoleums, we’re going to visit an actual mausoleum construction company -  Rome Monument in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - to see how a mausoleum is planned, designed and built from concept to cemetery installation. 


1) Rome takes the time to educate every customer on every aspect of the design and what their options are.

2) Rome’s mausoleum artists come up with an initial CAD design which we go over with you, and make any changes and adjustments you need made.

3) When the final design is approved, we begin the process of building the mausoleum.
 
4) You choose all the materials, including the granite. We’ll visit the Rome Granite Warehouse with thousands of world’s most beautiful granite slabs. It’s one of the largest in America. 
 
5) From here, the granite goes next door to the Rome production facility. We’ll visit the plant where hundreds of headstones and mausoleums are designed and constructed each year, each one of the highest quality, using the highest quality materials and craftsmanship.
 
6) Certified master carvers and craftspeople cut the granite to size, sculpt, hand etch, letter, polish and sandblast to achieve a perfect mausoleum slab or accessory.
 
7) When it’s complete, we either store the mausoleum in the warehouse for future assembly at the cemetery, or deliver it to your cemetery anywhere in the continental United States. 
 
8) The foundation for the mausoleum is laid in advance of the setting. 
 
9) The mausoleum is installed and the plot is landscaped

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. Both of Vince Dioguardi's firms, Rome Monument and Dio + Co. design and ship extremely high quality mausoleums to cemeteries all over the country.
