A mausoleum is a beautiful and lasting way to honor someone's memory. Standing above the ground, it creates a peaceful, private space to remember and celebrate a loved one's life. We have been designing, building, and installing custom mausoleums in New Jersey for over 80 years.
With our experience, we know how to blend classic craftsmanship with modern techniques to create something truly special. Whether you prefer a simple design for one person, a family mausoleum for many generations, or something more elaborate, our team is here to help guide you through the entire process.
A mausoleum is a sturdy, above-ground building that protects the remains of individuals or families. Unlike a traditional grave, it offers a private, secure space that can be visited for generations to come. Families often choose mausoleums because they last for a very long time, offer an elegant and dignified tribute, and can be personalized in countless ways. Whether large or small, a mausoleum stands as a symbol of honor, heritage, and family pride.
Each family is unique, and so are their wishes. Some families choose a private mausoleum designed for multiple generations, complete with detailed carvings, stained glass, or marble floors. Others prefer a single-crypt or double-crypt mausoleum, perfect for individuals or couples who want a peaceful, above-ground resting place.
There are also larger community mausoleums often found in cemeteries, providing space for many people. No matter what you choose, the focus is on creating a space that feels respectful, meaningful, and fitting for those remembered.

There are many reasons why a mausoleum might be the right choice. It can serve as a lasting legacy, representing a family's story and traditions through the ages. It offers strong protection from weather and other outside elements, keeping the remains safe and secure.
Because mausoleums can be customized in so many ways, families can add architectural details, engraved names, inspiring quotes, or even stained glass windows. A mausoleum also provides privacy, creating a peaceful spot for loved ones to gather, reflect, and share memories.
We offer a complete range of services. We begin by meeting with you to understand your vision and help you shape it into a custom design. We then choose high-quality materials, such as granite or marble, that are both beautiful and long-lasting. Our skilled artisans bring the design to life with careful carving and construction, paying attention to every detail. Once the mausoleum is ready, we handle the installation at the cemetery, making sure all rules and regulations are followed. If you have an older mausoleum that needs care, we also offer refinishing, cleaning, and restoration services.
Materials Available for Mausoleums
| Material | Characteristics | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Granite | Exceptionally durable; resists weathering; available in many colors; takes a high polish | Exterior cladding, columns, crypt faces, engraved panels |
| Marble | Classic elegance; rich veining; slightly softer than granite | Interior floors, walls, decorative accents |
| Bronze | Warm metallic patina; highly detailed casting; long-lasting | Door hardware, memorial plaques, nameplates, decorative grilles |
| Stained Glass | Filters soft, colored light into the interior; custom imagery available | Windows and transom panels in walk-in mausoleums |
One of the most special parts of creating a mausoleum is adding personal touches that reflect the family's story. Many families choose architectural features like columns or arches, or decorate the interior with marble floors, benches, or stained glass that lets soft light shine inside. Engravings might include names, dates, meaningful phrases, or symbols of faith and heritage. Every detail can be chosen to ensure the mausoleum truly honors those it is meant to remember.

A traditional monument marks an in-ground burial, while a mausoleum is an above-ground structure that holds the casket within a sealed crypt. Mausoleums keep loved ones out of the earth and offer a dry, protected, and permanent resting place that can honor several family members in one structure.
