Many families choose a traditional burial plot or cremation memorial, but a mausoleum provides a unique and enduring tribute.

A mausoleum is a free-standing building constructed as a monument to enclose the coffin or ashes of one or more people who have died. 

Unlike a traditional grave, where the body is interred in the ground, a mausoleum houses the person or people who have died above ground. These buildings can be:

• Private mausoleums: commissioned by families, these offer exclusive space for multiple generations.
• Public mausoleums: sometimes shared by people who are unrelated, often within larger cemetery or crematorium grounds, providing an elegant above-ground alternative to traditional burial plots.

Why choose a mausoleum?

Families choose a mausoleum for different reasons, for example:

• A lasting legacy: a mausoleum is a lasting place of remembrance, and a way to honour and remember someone for generations to come.
• Protection: a mausoleum is a locked space, protected from the elements.
• Shelter: mausoleums can provide sheltered spaces, making them comfortable for family visits year-round.
• Personalisation: each vault within our communal mausoleums allows for individual tributes, including inscriptions, flowers, and personal touches. Our private mausoleums are fully bespoke. 

Private mausoleums

For families seeking a unique and personal tribute, we offer fully bespoke mausoleums within our cemetery grounds. Each mausoleum is individually crafted to pay a fitting tribute to your loved one and the legacy they leave behind. 

Our dedicated teams work closely with families throughout the creation process, offering guidance at every stage. The result is a thoughtfully designed memorial to be appreciated for generations to come. 

Public mausoleums

Our public mausoleums are set in a prime location within our grounds, surrounded by mature trees and beautifully maintained grounds. Exclusively accessible to those with a loved one resting within, they offer privacy and peace. Inside, comfortable benches are thoughtfully placed for families to sit and spend time in remembrance.

The mausoleum vaults are crafted from premium materials that are long associated with beauty, strength, and remembrance. The chambers inside are designed to hold one coffin or four sets of ashes. A sleek cover plate on the front of each vault offers a place for a dedication or inscription.

Pre-purchase and plan ahead

Pre-purchasing a mausoleum vault ensures future peace of mind and allows families to plan ahead together. Our team is here to guide you through the options available.

By securing a vault in advance, you guarantee a lasting place of remembrance for your loved ones. Whether you are interested in a private mausoleum, tailored to honour your family's heritage, or a vault within our beautifully maintained public mausoleums, early planning offers flexibility and reassurance. 

In addition, pre-purchasing provides practical benefits; it removes uncertainty during emotionally challenging times and allows families to make thoughtful decisions together. Our dedicated team are here to support you throughout the process, from selecting the ideal location and design to ensuring every detail is handled with care.

We have mausoleums at select crematoria sites - please contact us for more information on the locations.
