  • Is a mausoleum more expensive that ground burial?

    It depends on the choices you make with the mausoleum and ground space. A ground burial space will require the purchase of the space, the vault, and the marker whereas with a mausoleum you do not need a vault, and we engrave the granite front, so you do not need to purchase a marker separately. We would be happy to do a side-by-side comparison for you.
