Mausoleum Crypts
A mausoleum crypt provides a safe resting place for the remains of loved ones in a manner that provides a level of closeness that a traditional burial space cannot. The are several different styles of mausoleum crypts available for you to select from.
Single Crypts
Single crypts are the most common type of crypt in a mausoleum. Single crypts contain the remains of one person in a casket or a cremation urn.
Side-by-Side Crypts
Side-by-side crypts are designed for two people. The caskets are positioned next to each other horizontally, and may each have its own engraved marker or the crypts may share a single marker.
Companion Crypts or End-to-End Crypts
Companion crypts are designed for two people, but only take the space of a single crypt. The caskets are lined up “end-to-end” and a single marker is shared. Companion crypts are the mausoleum equivalent of “double depth” as found commonly with traditional burial.
Westminister Family Crypts
Sometimes referred to simply as “Westminster crypts” or “family crypts,” this style of crypt can accommodate as many people as you’d like. Sometimes the arrangement is end-to-end crypts stacked on top of each other, and sometimes the arrangement is side-by-side crypts stacked on top of each other. Each person may have their own marker, or the crypts may share a single large marker.
