A community mausoleum is simply a large building designed to provide above-ground interment or entombment for a number of unrelated people. Sharing the cost of the mausoleum with other individuals has made it more affordable. Crypts are designed to hold casketed remains. Following a casket entombment, the crypt is sealed and a granite or marble front is attached. Crypt plates are attached to the front of the crypt which memorialize the individual within. Niches will accommodate urns containing cremated remains. Following an urn entombment, a niche front of granite, marble, bronze, wood or glass is attached.
