The Handel Mausoleum
The Handel is a classical mausoleum design inspired by the colonnade of the Peripteral temple. The Doric columns surround the mausoleum, standing sentinel over those interred within.

The Strauss is a modestly-sized mausoleum in the classical style, but the beauty of this design is in the unique granite and in the attention to detail in the simple ornamentation.

The Doric columns and laurel wreath crown this mausoleum with classical detailing, paying homage to great Greek architecture.
One of the unusual features of The Strauss is the window in the rear wall of the mausoleum. The extra light, combined with the light from the glass panels in the door, makes this mausoleum less oppressive than some of the more imposing traditional designs.
