Community Mausoleum 

A Community Mausoleum is the ideal option for those seeking a traditional burial with a casket and wish to have their final resting place be above ground. Mausoleum burial is clean, dry and ventilated, and it compares favorably with the cost of in-ground burial by eliminating lots, vaults, monuments or memorials. Simply put, Community Mausoleums are buildings that house many Crypts & Niches. Many people prefer Crypts as they protected from all of the changing elements present in ground burial. Crypt ownership provides year round visitation, regardless of the weather, in a beautiful, inspirational setting.


Cemetery options

Family Estate

Those looking to have several family members together in one cemetery in a particular section should explore the two Family Estate options.


Family Monuments: Family Monument sections are blocks of the cemetery reserved for a family and loved ones. Each section usually has an upright monument and adjoining families will be buried beside their graves. These spaces accommodate 2-16 family members depending on selection.


Private Estates: The Private Estate selection commonly accommodates 2-8 loved ones and is usually walled and gated or hedged by vegetation. The gates, walls or hedges are usually 2-3 feet in height to provide a fully private section. For those wishing to have a private or semi-private estate, this would be the best option.
