Private Mausoleum Costs and Variables that Influence Private Mausoleum Cost

Private Mausoleum Costs in 2026

A private mausoleum cost starts at $17,000
Two Crypt stand-alone mausoleums start at a cost of $29,000
Vestibule walk-in mausoleums with a bronze door for two people starts at $99,000
The following will impact the price of a private mausoleum

Variables that Influence Private Mausoleum Cost in 2026

Style - Private mausoleums generally can be built as a non-walk-in or a walk-in. Non-walk-in private mausoleums are structures that do not provide a means in which one can physically enter the structure. Access to the crypts and/or cremation niches is found on the exterior of the structure. Walk-in private mausoleums allow one to enter the structure traditionally through a bronze door. The interior space can range from very small such is found in a vestibule private mausoleum or very vast and open. Access to the crypts and/or cremation niches is on the interior of the mausoleum or a combination of both on the interior and exterior. A non-walk-in mausoleum is generally more economical than a walk-in mausoleum.

Granite - Not all granite in the world was created equal. A reputable mausoleum builder such as Rome Monument will only use granite that will not cause future issues with the mausoleum. Different colors and finishes of the granite will impact the cost in a private mausoleum.

Construction Standards - The process of selecting a private mausoleum engineer and builder is not unlike selecting a contractor to build your home. Each contractor will have different standards as to which they uphold which will need to be examined. As mentioned above the granite used for a private mausoleum is one standard along with but not limited to: the sizes of the joints between the pieces (smaller the better), the thickness of the granite used, the number of pieces of granite to complete a section of a mausoleum (for example one solid piece of granite for a wall or column is better than multiple pieces glued together), etc.

Roof Design - The style of roof selected can have a major impact on the final cost. Roof styles range from flat, gable, chapel, and domed. A chapel and domed roof can either be flat on the interior of a walk-in private mausoleum or vaulted for a more open feel.

Architectural Selections - Elements such as roof moldings, style of columns and the use of decorative corner pilasters will influence the overall cost of a private mausoleum.

Installation - Distance (freight) from the quarry, your lot selection within the cemetery (a roadside lot with no obstructions will keep the installation cost down in terms of the size of the crane needed), and the length of the installation (some installations can take a few hours while others will take weeks) will impact the final price of a private mausoleum.

MemorialPlanning.com explains the main types of burial options. Including above ground burial, burial in a mausoleum, burial in a lawn crypt, and cremation.
Above ground burials can be more cost-effective than traditional in-ground burials, as families are able to avoid many of the costs associated with in-ground burials.

The Getty Tomb

The Carrie Eliza Getty Tomb, located in Graceland Cemetery in Chicago, Illinois, United States, was commissioned in 1890 by the lumber baron, Henry Harrison Getty, for his wife.

The Getty Tomb has been said to be the most significant piece of architecture in Graceland cemetery and the beginning of Sullivan's involvement in the architectural style known as the Chicago School.
The tomb, which stands on its own triangular plot of land, is composed of limestone masonry construction.
Roughly a cube in shape, the bottom half of the tomb is composed of large, smooth limestone blocks.
The upper half is composed of a rectangular pattern of octagons, each containing an eight-pointed starburst design.
The cornice is banded with smooth limestone above intricate spiraling patterns below, and the top-edge of the roofline is straight and horizontal on the front and back and scalloped in a concave fashion on the sides.

The Ryerson Tomb

The Martin Ryerson Tomb is an Egyptian Revival style mausoleum designed by Louis Sullivan and completed in 1889.

The Ryerson Tomb was commissioned by Martin Ryerson, Jr. in 1887, and completed by Sullivan, lead designer at Adler & Sullivan, in 1889.
The Ryerson Tomb is in the Lakeside section of Chicago's Graceland Cemetery, near the intersection of cemetery roads Main, Lake and Fairview Avenue.

How Ashes Are Buried In Mausoleums and Columbariums [Above Ground Interment & Cremation Niche Guide]

In Chapter 4 of the 2026 Essential Buyers Guide to Private Family Mausoleums, you’ll learn how ashes are buried in mausoleums and columbariums.
Over half the people who die in the U.S. are cremated.
There are many ways to preserve their ashes for posterity, including placing them in a mausoleum or a columbarium.

Once a body is cremated, the container with the ashes is delivered to the family who have several options for their disposition.
They can scatter the remains…place them in an urn…place them in a personalized cremation marker or cremation monument that will be set on your property or in a cemetery…bury the cremated remains in a grave in a cemetery…or entomb them above-ground by placing the ashes in a niche or mausoleum in a cemetery.
If you care to create a truly lasting remembrance of a loved one, a mausoleum or columbarium burial is probably your best option.

Cremation urns can be placed in granite-front or glass-front niches within the mausoleum.
You can also place the cremation urn permanently in a columbarium, pictured below.
The difference between a columbarium and a mausoleum is not always clear to people.
A mausoleum is typically used as the final resting place of an individual, such as royalty or another important person.
A columbarium is usually used for cremated remains in which there are many niches that hold urns.
A columbarium is a building that houses urns, or cremated remains.
It is not typically seen as the more traditional burial site for families and loved ones.
A mausoleum, on the other hand, can be found in cemeteries and is often used to house entire family groups of people (congregating together) who may have been buried over time since it was built decades ago.

A columbarium (pictured above) is a structure for the reverential and usually public storage of funerary urns, holding cremated remains of the deceased.
A columbarium is a room or freestanding structure, typically located in a cemetery or church, where there are niches (recessed compartments) for placing urns containing cremation ashes.
A columbarium is a public or private space where a loved one's urn can be placed in a niche for permanent remembrance.
It can be an indoor or outdoor structure, large or small, and is usually constructed of granite and personalized with etching and maybe even a bronze plaque.
A columbarium might have granite-front niches with bronze plaques commemorating the loved one memorialized there.
In contrast, glass-front niches are typically found inside a mausoleum or columbarium inside a funeral home.
Families typically appreciate glass-front niches, because in addition to holding a loved one's ashes, they can also display cherished mementos and photographs.
Some niches hold an individual loved one's ashes; companion niches can hold the ashes of two.

Since not every family can afford to build a private mausoleum, there are public mausoleums available for above ground burials as well.
These are typically indoor structures that allow visitors to come in to meditate or pray while viewing the sealed crypt of their loved one.
Some of the larger mausoleums can hold thousands of bodies.

Mausoleum Tour of Woodlawn Cemetery In Syracuse, New York

The Woodlawn Cemetery in Syracuse New York, honors their 130-year history with continuous investment in the grounds.
Woodlawn Cemetery has offered above-ground mausoleum interment for more than 40 years.
The Garden of Peace Mausoleum, Eternal Light Mausoleum and Sunset Mausoleum Complex offer outdoor granite crypts and indoor glass niches.
With the carefully planned indoor and outdoor gardens and gazebo, the mausoleums provide a year-round place to visit and remember loved ones.
A mausoleum is an above-ground collection of spaces called crypts, where bodies are entombed.
These free-standing structures are constructed from ultra-durable materials like marble and granite that reliably stand up to and shield remains from the elements, making these crypts cleaner and dryer than the in-ground burial alternative.

Mausoleum Cost

We’ll start with the myth that mausoleum interment costs more than in-ground burial. Turns out just the opposite is true as entombment in a community mausoleum can currently save around $1,750 for those pre-planning now.
How? In-ground burial costs can add up, starting with the lot purchase.
You must also consider payment for vaults, interment charges and monument, which can total an estimated $10,750 for two.
Conversely, a double crypt in a mausoleum runs around $9,000 in total.

The Buying Process Simplified

The main reason for these savings is the avoidance of all the third-party costs that go into burial.
With mausoleum interment at Woodlawn Cemetery in Syracuse, for example, the vaults, monument and lettering are all taken care of on-site.
With entombment costs, it comes to that $9,000 figure we used earlier for a double crypt.
A lot goes into a lot for in-ground burial. It costs about $2,200 just to reserve the property.
Add the two vaults you need to purchase from a funeral director ($3,000), interment fees charged by the cemetery ($2,050), and the cost of a monument from another vendor ($3,500), things quickly escalate to around $10,750.

Convenience

Mausoleums are far more accessible than in-ground lots, where visitors might have to trudge through snow to get to come wintertime.
In Syracuse and Central New York where inclement weather is common, this is an important consideration when planning final arrangements.
Mausoleums are maintained year-round, including the winter months.
Some even house the crypts indoors for extra comfort.

Million-Dollar Mausoleums

Coveted plots in exclusive graveyards are commanding premium prices. Who wants a $1 million mausoleum?

Written By Stefanos Chen

Published in The Wall Street Journal On August 15, 2013

With Grecian columns and leaded-glass windows imported from Poland, Arthur Allan's future New York home is a welcoming and luxurious space. But he doesn't want to move in anytime soon—it is his private mausoleum.

Mr. Allan, a retired interior designer, purchased the 2,064-square-foot lot and mausoleum in historic Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx—the final resting place for J.C. Penney, Herman Melville and Miles Davis. Mr. Allan, 82 years old, paid $1.1 million in 2008 for the plot, which was once owned by real-estate heiress Leona Helmsley. (She sold it after complaining that a newly built public mausoleum blocked open views.) Over the past five years, Mr. Allan has poured about $150,000 into improvements, including a bronze statue of a Grecian fighter with his hand pointed up to the sky.

But not all the furnishings are in place. "I'm superstitious," said Victor Szewczyk, Mr. Allan's real-estate manager. "The statue will go there when [he] goes there."

For many people, a cemetery plot or mausoleum crypt is the last piece of real estate they'll ever use. While there is no overall shortage of cemetery space in the U.S., coveted plots in exclusive or historic graveyards are commanding premium prices. The cemetery industry is projected to have $3.4 billion in revenue in 2013 and rise 2.1% in 2014, according to a July report by market-research firm IBISWorld. But revenue could soon shrink over time as more families consider cremation, which is about one-third the cost of burial.

To stoke demand, the cemetery industry is offering an array of high-end offerings that mirror the housing market, including "starchitect"-designed mausoleums, condominium-like crypts and custom-built family estates. And as cremation grows in popularity—about 43% of people opt for cremation instead of a casketed burial—many private mausoleums today are built with niches to hold the remains.

It's a level of customization that industry experts say will become increasingly common as baby boomers come of age, so to speak. There were an estimated 2.5 million deaths in 2011, the last year for which data are available, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And boomers, those born from 1946 to 1964, are now entering prime estate-planning years.

"The baby boomers are spelling out death on their own terms," said Daniel Isard, president of the Foresight Companies, a Phoenix-based consulting group specializing in the cemetery industry.

At Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans, an eight-crypt mausoleum on a 32-by-32-foot lot is scheduled for completion in October with a price tag of about $1.1 million. The buyer, Ray Brandt, a 66-year-old attorney and auto-dealership owner, says he wants space for the whole family. The mausoleum will be carved from pink kershaw granite from South Carolina (his wife's choice) and hold up to 12 burials. There will be two sets of bronze doors, one of which will open to a back patio with picnic-style furniture and a view of a lagoon. "Eventually everyone will end up somewhere," he said. "I guess it's the last house I'll buy."

Founded in 1872, Metairie, like most cemeteries, serves clients in all price ranges. But as the 156-acre site fills up, pricing in the more exclusive areas has risen. A tract of land along the entrance is nicknamed "millionaires' row" because a plot of land there can cost $250,000, not including monuments, said Jeanne Keene, a sales executive for Stewart Enterprises, a Louisiana-based company that owns the cemetery.

Like Metairie, most cemeteries charge higher prices for more desirable land, such as a plot with a lake view or private garden. "Just like real-estate, it's location, location, location," said David Michener, president of Allegheny and Homewood cemeteries in Pittsburgh.

At Homewood Cemetery, a Pittsburgh man in his 80s recently purchased a 12-by-12-foot private room for his late wife inside one of the community mausoleums; today, it would list for $75,000. The buyer, whom the cemetery didn't name, then commissioned an interior-design firm to fully remodel the space, adding $25,000 to the price tag. The redesign includes a bronze chandelier to match the Art Deco-style window, several pieces of furniture and area rugs to make the space feel cozy, said designer G. Thomas Catalucci of the Guiding Light. The family also replaced a metal gate outside the room with a velvet rope because "they felt it was a little prisonlike."

In Buffalo, N.Y., Forest Lawn Cemetery is using a brand name. The owners built an outdoor, multicrypt mausoleum designed by American architecture's favorite son, Frank Lloyd Wright. Called the Blue Sky Mausoleum, the 24-crypt structure was designed for Forest Lawn in 1928, but the family that commissioned the Wright design ran out of money. In 2004, the project was resurrected by the cemetery. The crypts are built into a hill overlooking a bucolic tree-lined landscape. The structure ascends like a staircase to a platform with benches. The mausoleum also includes a quote from Wright on the "noble effect" of an open-sky burial. Crypts range from $75,000 to $500,000 each, and five have already sold, said Joseph Dispenza, the president of Forest Lawn. As in the condo market, he expects that the last few crypts will sell for far more than the current asking price.

At Hollywood Forever in Los Angeles, where Rudolph Valentino, Fay Wray, Cecil B. Demille and other notables are interred, buyers have long challenged the basic conventions of burial. In an area called the Garden of Legends, a swath of waterfront property where graves sites start at $110,000, memorials are as unique as the owners. A bust of punk rocker Johnny Ramone on his guitar sits atop his gravestone. Burial near the Ramones legend is one of the most common requests the cemetery gets, said Noelle Berman, the director of private estates, who said it is a reflection of the changing clientele.

As the boomers get older, industry experts predict that monuments will get even more whimsical, says R. Michael Eddy, president of cemetery products at Matthews International, a Pittsburgh-based manufacturer of memorial products.

Even in cemeteries where land is scarce, boomers are making a statement. Mr. Eddy says he has seen monuments of all shapes and colors, ranging from granite roller skates to chiseled flamenco dancers.

He points to rapid changes overseas. In parts of Europe, ultramodern mausoleums resemble art installations, with sculptural elements and statuary. In the Philippines, Mr. Eddy has produced six- and seven-figure mausoleums with air conditioning, kitchenettes—even a hot tub. "Our demand is doubling every year" for private mausoleums, he said, from about 40 orders a year ago to doing "a couple a week," he said. It's only a matter of time before more of these ideas reach the U.S. market, he added.

Some already have arrived, noted Ms. Berman of Hollywood Forever, reflecting on some of the cemetery's unique momento mori, which include a master-closet monument that will be filled with the decedent's couture collection. "It's forever," she said.
