We know that the process of building a mausoleum may fill you with unease. After all, it’s not every day that one considers their final resting place for all of eternity. That’s one reason we would like to break down the process into a few steps.

Building a mausoleum is similar to any other large-scale project that you have completed in your professional or personal life. And if you select the right company to assist you with this project, you might even find yourself enjoying the process.

  • Steps you will go through when buying a mausoleum:
      • Step 1: Choose a mausoleum company to help you with the process.
      • Step 2: Choose the site for your private mausoleum.
      • Step 3: Go through your in-person or online design consultation.
      • Step 4: Receive periodic reports from the construction site.

Steps you will go through when buying a mausoleum:

Step 1: Choose a mausoleum company to help you with the process.

A mausoleum should have these two fundamental qualities; it should be personalized and eternal.

When choosing a mausoleum company, make sure they offer full customization and personalization of the design process. Steer away from companies that ask you to pick a design from a catalog. After all, your family’s name and legacy will forever be attached to the project, so you will want it to be unique to you.

Also, a mausoleum must be designed and constructed to last forever. Work with a company that uses high-quality materials and offers a guarantee, like Forever Legacy’s Eternal Guarantee™ .

That’s why we would like you to consider discussing your mausoleum design with Forever Legacy. We are the premier choice for private mausoleum construction in the United States.

Step 2: Choose the site for your private mausoleum.

You might already have several locations in mind for your private mausoleum. If so, discuss the pros and cons of each site with your designer. He or she may see how to incorporate a portion of the landscape into the design you have never considered.

Once you select the location of your mausoleum, you are ready to fine-tune the design.

Step 3: Go through your in-person or online design consultation.

If you choose to work with Forever Legacy, you will meet with your design team for an initial consultation. Your design team will discuss the style, color, and landscaping ideas for your private mausoleum during this meeting. You will talk about how to personalize the structure to reflect your family’s personality and beliefs.

You can come to the meeting with a “folder full” of ideas or come empty-handed. Just as your mausoleum will be customized, so is the consultation process.

Once we have met for the initial consultation, we will give you more information about the mausoleum cost considerations. Our team will begin work on the design and will submit a final proposal for you.

When the proposal is accepted, the granite will be quarried and cut in our Vermont facility. After that, the construction process will begin.

Step 4: Receive periodic reports from the construction site.

Forever Legacy offers a concierge-level service throughout the entire process. We will keep you informed about your mausoleum’s construction without inundating you with information.

Once the project is complete, you will be able to visit the mausoleum for quiet moments of reflection. You can enjoy what you have created and think of the legacy that you will leave behind for your family.

A critical aspect of that legacy is the eternal guarantee. Eternal Mausoleums™ will guarantee your structure in perpetuity. This is backed by an independent trust established in 1865 and is offered to the family, the heirs, and the cemetery.

Once you are ready to begin the design process of your family’s private mausoleum, fill out this form to request a consultation.

We know that the mausoleum building process may feel different than any other project you have completed before, but you will be comforted knowing that you have chosen the best team for the job.
