How Ashes Are Buried In Mausoleums and Columbariums [Above Ground Interment & Cremation Niche Guide]

In Chapter 4 of the 2023 Essential Buyers Guide to Private Family Mausoleums, you’ll learn how ashes are buried in mausoleums and columbariums. Over half the people who die in the U.S. are cremated.

Once a body is cremated, the container with the ashes is delivered to the family who have several options for their disposition. They can scatter the remains…place them in an urn…place them in a personalized cremation marker or cremation monument that will be set on your property or in a cemetery…bury the cremated remains in a grave in a cemetery…or entomb them above-ground by placing the ashes in a niche or mausoleum in a cemetery. If you care to create a truly lasting remembrance of a loved one, a mausoleum or columbarium burial is probably your best option.

What Are Public Or Community Mausoleums

Public or community mausoleums are above ground buildings memorializing many unrelated individuals.
Since not every family can afford to build a private mausoleum, there are public mausoleums available for above ground burials as well.
These are typically indoor structures that allow visitors to come in to meditate or pray while viewing the sealed crypt of their loved one.
Some of the larger mausoleums can hold thousands of bodies.
You can bury ashes in a cemetery like a casket, as long as you use the proper urn type.

Mausoleum Tour of Woodlawn Cemetery In Syracuse, New York

The Woodlawn Cemetery in Syracuse New York, honors their 130-year history with continuous investment in the grounds.
Woodlawn Cemetery has offered above-ground mausoleum interment for more than 40 years.
The Garden of Peace Mausoleum, Eternal Light Mausoleum and Sunset Mausoleum Complex offer outdoor granite crypts and indoor glass niches.
With the carefully planned indoor and outdoor gardens and gazebo, the mausoleums provide a year-round place to visit and remember loved ones.
A mausoleum is an above-ground collection of spaces called crypts, where bodies are entombed.
These free-standing structures are constructed from ultra-durable materials like marble and granite that reliably stand up to and shield remains from the elements, making these crypts cleaner and dryer than the in-ground burial alternative.

Mausoleum Cost

We’ll start with the myth that mausoleum interment costs more than in-ground burial. Turns out just the opposite is true as entombment in a community mausoleum can currently save around $1,750 for those pre-planning now.

How? In-ground burial costs can add up, starting with the lot purchase. You must also consider payment for vaults, interment charges and monument, which can total an estimated $10,750 for two. Conversely, a double crypt in a mausoleum runs around $9,000 in total.

The Buying Process Simplified

The main reason for these savings is the avoidance of all the third-party costs that go into burial. With mausoleum interment at Woodlawn Cemetery in Syracuse, for example, the vaults, monument and lettering are all taken care of on-site. With entombment costs, it comes to that $9,000 figure we used earlier for a double crypt.

A lot goes into a lot for in-ground burial. It costs about $2,200 just to reserve the property. Add the two vaults you need to purchase from a funeral director ($3,000), interment fees charged by the cemetery ($2,050), and the cost of a monument from another vendor ($3,500), things quickly escalate to around $10,750.

Convenience

Mausoleums are far more accessible than in-ground lots, where visitors might have to trudge through snow to get to come wintertime. In Syracuse and Central New York where inclement weather is common, this is an important consideration when planning final arrangements.

Mausoleums are maintained year-round, including the winter months. Some even house the crypts indoors for extra comfort.

.

Wilhelm’s Portland Memorial Mausoleum is a “city within a city” that holds some 97,000 souls and is one of the largest mausoleums on the West Coast.
The century-old mausoleum has been expanded over the years into a seemingly endless labyrinth of hallways and staircases.
The sprawling complex takes up three city blocks and contains more than seven miles of corridors.
Three fountains cascade down several floors. In each stone-lined room, remains are stacked from floor to ceiling, often 14 urns, or seven caskets, high.
Wilhelm's Portland Memorial Funeral Home, Mausoleum and Crematory is a funerary establishment in the Sellwood neighborhood of southeast Portland, Oregon, United States. Opened in 1901 as the Portland Crematorium, it is the first and oldest crematorium west of the Mississippi River, and the largest privately managed indoor burial site in the Pacific Northwest.
Established due to a growing demand for crematory services in Portland at the turn of the 20th century, the establishment evolved to house a mausoleum as well, which consists of eight stories and over 5 miles (8.0 km) of hallways, featuring ornate stained glass and Italian sculptures.
Wilhelm’s Portland Memorial Mausoleum and Garden of Remembrance is a welcoming sanctuary of peace and quiet.
Families from every walk of life, religion and discipline have chosen Wilhelm’s Portland Memorial as their final resting place for over 100 years.

Portland Memorial Mausoleum is known for its many options of mausoleum entombment within its majestic walls. From private family areas that can be customized, to many different community rooms with different themes and looks, to quiet library like settings. Portland Memorial Mausoleum has options to make sure that your family finds the setting most comfortable and suitable for you.

Cremation Memorialization

Over the years, Wilhelm’s Portland Memorial has continued to add options for those who have chosen cremation as their means of final interment. We have many areas and different options for cremation memorialization. Moreover, these choices are not casketed burial options converted for cremation, but rather totally unique and different offerings for cremation families.

Many people still prefer ground burial, and Wilhelm’s Portland Memorial knows that deciding on the type of memorial property is a very personal decision. Whether you are looking to establish a multi-grave private lot, or are in need of a single space, Portland Memorial has two beautiful cremation memorial gardens to meet your needs.

To truly understand the variety of possibilities, we invite you to explore the many unique ways to celebrate and honor a life at Portland Memorial by scheduling a tour.

Graceland Cemetery - The Getty and Ryerson Tombs by Louis Sullivan

Chicago Architecture Center (CAF) docent Mary Jo Hoag discusses two of Louis Sullivan's famous tomb designs: the Getty Tomb and the Ryerson Tomb.

The Getty Tomb

The Carrie Eliza Getty Tomb, located in Graceland Cemetery in Chicago, Illinois, United States, was commissioned in 1890 by the lumber baron, Henry Harrison Getty, for his wife.
It was designed by the noted American architect, Louis Sullivan of the firm Adler & Sullivan. Getty became familiar with Sullivan's work from the architect's various Loop projects as well as from the mausoleum (also in Graceland) Sullivan designed for Getty's late partner, Martin Ryerson.
The Getty Tomb has been said to be the most significant piece of architecture in Graceland cemetery and the beginning of Sullivan's involvement in the architectural style known as the Chicago School.
The tomb, which stands on its own triangular plot of land, is composed of limestone masonry construction.
Roughly a cube in shape, the bottom half of the tomb is composed of large, smooth limestone blocks.
The upper half is composed of a rectangular pattern of octagons, each containing an eight-pointed starburst design.
The cornice is banded with smooth limestone above intricate spiraling patterns below, and the top-edge of the roofline is straight and horizontal on the front and back and scalloped in a concave fashion on the sides.

The Ryerson Tomb

The Martin Ryerson Tomb is an Egyptian Revival style mausoleum designed by Louis Sullivan and completed in 1889. It is in the historic Graceland Cemetery in Chicago, Illinois, United States.
Martin L. Ryerson was a wealthy Chicago lumber baron and real estate speculator.
He lived from 1818 to 1887 and during his lifetime he, and his son Martin Ryerson, Jr., commissioned several Chicago works by architect Louis H. Sullivan.
The Ryerson Tomb was commissioned by Martin Ryerson, Jr. in 1887, and completed by Sullivan, lead designer at Adler & Sullivan, in 1889.
The Ryerson Tomb is in the Lakeside section of Chicago's Graceland Cemetery, near the intersection of cemetery roads Main, Lake and Fairview Avenue.
