What is a mausoleum crypt? A mausoleum crypt is a clean, dry, ventilated, completely sheltered, private above-ground burial space, sized to hold a full casket. After a traditional mausoleum service has been conducted, the cemetery maintenance staff removes the crypt front shutter and the casket is placed inside. The crypt is then sealed and the crypt front is placed back on.

By contrast, a mausoleum niche is a one-foot by one-foot space, sized to hold up to two cremains.

By pre-planning mausoleum arrangements and purchasing your choice of entombment, you can freeze the price, stop inflationary trends, and take years to pay.
