MAUSOLEUMS
Mausoleum Serving Bridgeport & Fairfield, CT
A mausoleum is a free-standing structure that encloses a burial chamber. Families choose mausoleum crypts because they can hold the remains of multiple family members who wish to remain together. The bodies are stored above ground within the crypts so it has great appeal with anyone who has concerns about being buried underground or cremated. One of the main advantages of a mausoleum is that it is designed to withstand weather and protect the remains. Mausoleums actually reduce the amount of land that is used for a burial and is therefore more ecologically friendly than an underground burial and appeals to Earth conscious.

Mausoleum Crypts
✣ Pilgrimage Mausoleum: Our newest mausoleum, the Pilgrimage Mausoleum was dedicated in 1996. The architecture of the Pilgrimage Mausoleum includes angles of the building which define and illuminate the space and the skylights create a feeling of openness. The structure incorporates seven different granites, cedar, and glass, and features dogwood and rhododendron mosaics. The courtyard is the perfect place to reflect in the peaceful simplicity of nature, and includes a recessed fountain area surrounded by crypt space with dark granite fronts.
The Pilgrimage Mausoleum has options of over 600 crypts and 500 columbarium niches to meet your individual needs. Families whose needs exceed 5 or more casket spaces should consider purchasing exclusive or shared rights to one of four family rooms. Each room is carpeted and will be finished in fine Italian marble. Entry to each area is by key only, allowing each family the optimum in privacy and the ability to personalize this space.

✣ Garden Mausoleum: The magnificent Garden Mausoleum at Mountain Grove was created for perpetual and dignified above-ground entombment as a fitting and lasting memorial to your loved ones. Designed to harmonize with the architecture of other structures on the grounds, the Garden Mausoleum is designed so that every crypt faces out upon the cemetery or in toward a lovely garden. Although the crypts in this building have been sold out, the Garden Mausoleum expresses the permanence, peacefulness and dignity that is Mountain Grove.

✣ Chapel Mausoleum: Dedicated in 1985, the Chapel Mausoleum is an attractive extension of Read Memorial Chapel. Together with the Pilgrimage Mausoleum, it offers a variety of crypts, including tandem, companion, and Westminster configurations. A more traditional structure, the Chapel Mausoleum was created using a beautiful Gothic architectural style.
