Mausoleum Romanesque Row

Cemetery mausoleums are beautiful monuments to the deceased that provide economy of space, and attest that therein are laid those who were deeply loved and are greatly missed. A cemetery mausoleum stands above ground, noticed and admired for its artwork and fine architecture. An admirer may not even realize they are studying a mausoleum cemetery, but simply a marvelous structure built in stone.

A mausoleum cemetery is constructed as one or more vestibule or sarcophagus mausoleums. Cemetery mausoleums inter one or more deceased individuals. They hold both caskets and cremation urns. Usually there are niches for urns and crypts for caskets along the walls or even in a lower level, possibly underground. Mausoleum cemeteries keep remains clean and dry, out of the weather where the deceased may rest in peace, undisturbed.

Vestibule Cemetery Mausoleums

The vestibule type of cemetery masoleum has a doorway for visitors to enter and allows the deceased to be carried inside. Sometimes the vestibule has a small chapel to allow visitors a peaceful respite or prayer when they visit. This enhances the appeal of vestibule cemetery mausoleums as family feels the closeness of God to beloved family members.

Sarcophagus types of cemetery mausoleums are closed and have no doorway. They are monumental mausoleums meant to be appreciated from the outside alone. The deceased interred in sarcophagi are permanently protected from weather and possible unwanted interference. When few more will be laid to rest and the cemetery mausoleum is built far away from caregivers and security monitors, it is beneficial to design the mausoleum cemetery without doors and windows, but rather entirely with thick stone. Additions of future loved ones into the sarcophagus are accomplished by temporarily removing the roof or one exterior wall.

Regardless of the kind of cemetery mausoleum selected for construction, either on private land or on the grounds of a cemetery, mausoleums are excellent monuments to love, respect, and appreciation for the deceased. Mausoleums economize space better than cemetery plots and are both beautiful and enduring statements of love, loss, and family.
