While a traditional ground burial<\/a> after a service in a funeral home in Fleming Island, FL<\/a> is always a valid choice, there are many other options for a deceased\u2019s final resting place, like mausoleums.<\/p>\n

A mausoleum is, according to the National Funeral Directors Association, \u201ca building designed for above-ground placement of a casket. The casket is placed into a crypt that may be designed for one or two persons.\u201d Mausoleums are free-standing structures that provide a secure, dry and clean place for bodies to be interred. There are many different kinds and styles of mausoleums. Some mausoleums have one crypt, or a chamber designed to hold one body, while others have a larger space made to hold a few people like a family or a couple. Some mausoleums even have more than one room for different parts of a family.<\/p>\n

Mausoleums are commonly decorated with exterior markers to denote who is resting inside, and yet others have windows and glass to allow in natural light and air. The term mausoleum came from one of the first one\u2019s ever built. Built in 353 BC near what is now known as Turkey, The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus was the final resting place of a famous Persian king named\u202fMausolus. However, just because these structures have a long history doesn\u2019t mean they aren\u2019t still popular. In fact, mausoleums offer tons of great benefits, making them a common choice for internment.<\/p>\n

Some of the benefits of mausoleums include protection and privacy. Though everyone will experience grief, most people prefer to show their mourning in private. Because mausoleums are enclosed buildings, they offer the bereaved much-desired privacy in their time of loss. Similarly, because they are enclosed buildings, mausoleums also offer protection for the body. Many of them are also climate-controlled, which gives the bereaved even more peace of mind for the body and comfort when they are paying their respects. Both traditional ground burial and cremation have negative impacts on the environment, such as ground disruption or release of gasses into the atmosphere. Since mausoleums can hold more bodies per square foot of ground that a traditional burial, they are better for the planet and are a great option for those that want to leave a small footprint behind when they\u2019re gone.<\/p>\n

Mausoleums are also convenient. Mausoleums are convenient for the bereaved as they offer easy access to the lost loved one for year-round visitation. Hot summers, cold winters, rain and other elements aren\u2019t an issue. And finally, mausoleums have been proven to have comparable costs to those of a more traditional ground burial, especially if the structure will be used to house more than one body. Families can lower the costs of burial by purchasing a shared mausoleum.<\/p>\n
