Abstract
A mausoleum, formed of stone pieces having a plurality of crypts. The mausoleum is formed of a plurality of vertical walls each formed of a stone piece engaged at selected ends to form vertically extending seams. A roof, comprising a plurality of elongated stone pieces arranged in pyramid fashion longitudinally of the mausoleum, is supported by upper edges of certain of the vertical walls. A header extends transversely of the front of the mausoleum. The header is supported by the upper edges of other of the vertical walls and the forward end of the roof pieces. This arrangement provides that the roof and the header cover upper portions of all vertically extending seams while the header provides a homogeneous, pleasing face to the structure.
