Frequently Asked Questions

A mausoleum is an above-ground building for burial. Instead of being buried in the ground, your loved one is placed in an individual space (called a crypt) inside a granite or marble structure. It's a climate-controlled alternative to ground burial that protects from weather and makes visiting easier.

Mausoleum prices vary based on location within the structure (ground level vs. upper tiers), whether it's indoors or outdoors, and whether you choose a community or private mausoleum. Mausoleum crypts are often similar in price to traditional burial when you consider you don't need a vault or large monument. Call us at (704) 545-6101 for current pricing and availability.

Mausoleums offer protection from weather and groundwater. Visiting is easier—you don't have to kneel or bend down, and you're sheltered from rain and snow.
