Mausoleum crypt entombment may be the right final disposition choice for those seeking a final resting place above ground. A mausoleum crypt is a stone or concrete chamber designed to hold one or two caskets and offers a clean, dry, and weather-protected resting place. Embalming is required for all above-ground crypt entombments. Families may choose any standard type of casket – sealed, unsealed, wood, or metal, and can work with their funeral home to select personalization options. Burial vaults are not necessary for crypt placement in our mausoleum buildings. Crypt prices vary depending on the level and type of crypt that is selected.
*It is possible in some cases to place the cremated remains of a spouse or loved one inside a casket. If you would like to explore the possibility of a Second Right of Burial, ask our office staff for more details.
Construction on Maplewood Cemetery’s newest mausoleum building, Courtyard West, was completed in 2022. Courtyard West, along with our Chapel and two other mausoleum buildings form a perimeter around a shaded, peaceful greenspace near the cemetery office. Families may choose to gather in our Chapel for a committal service.
Nameplates
Cast bronze nameplates are securely mounted to the crypt front to identify and honor loved ones. With four design options to choose from, these timeless and durable nameplates honor your loved one with their name, birth date, and passing date. Decorative items such as vases and cameos can be selected, and families can choose from hundreds of bronze emblems to represent a person’s faith, hobbies, or military service. Our staff is ready to assist you in selecting and personalizing a nameplate for you or your loved one.
We encourage families to pre-pay for the above-mentioned items. Pre-paying – whether in full or in installments – locks in today’s pricing with no finance charge. You don’t need to choose and pay for everything at once. Selecting your space(s) is a great place to start.
