Private Structures
Private Mausoleums & Crypts
The most distinguished form of above-ground memorialization. We design and build private mausoleums and family crypts that stand as permanent architectural tributes — built to the highest standards of craftsmanship and endurance.
Above-Ground Memorialization
A Structure That Stands Through the Ages
A private mausoleum or family crypt is the ultimate expression of memorial permanence. These above-ground structures have housed the remains of distinguished families for thousands of years — from the ancient world to the grand cemetery mausoleums of the American South. A well-built mausoleum will stand for centuries, providing a dignified, protected resting place and a gathering point for generations of family.
At Alpha Omega Monuments, we work with families, architects, and cemetery management to design and build private mausoleums and crypts that meet the highest standards of structural integrity, aesthetic beauty, and lasting dignity. Every project is custom — designed from the ground up to reflect the family's heritage, faith, and vision.
Structure Types
Mausoleum & Crypt Options
Single-Crypt Mausoleum
A private above-ground structure designed to house a single crypt. Single-crypt mausoleums are typically smaller in footprint but no less distinguished in design — often featuring a carved granite facade, bronze door, and interior inscription panel.
Family Mausoleum
Designed to accommodate multiple family members, a family mausoleum typically includes two to eight crypts arranged in tiers. The interior may feature marble or granite flooring, stained glass, bronze fixtures, and custom inscriptions.
Garden Crypt
A garden crypt is a lower-profile above-ground structure, often set into a hillside or garden setting. Garden crypts offer the permanence and protection of a mausoleum with a more naturalistic, landscape-integrated appearance.
Companion Crypt
A two-crypt structure designed for spouses or life partners. Companion crypts are typically side-by-side or stacked configurations, housed within a single architectural structure with a unified facade.
Cremation Mausoleum
A mausoleum designed specifically for cremated remains, featuring multiple columbarium niches within a private architectural structure. Cremation mausoleums offer the prestige of a traditional mausoleum at a more accessible scale.
Custom Estate Mausoleum
For families with a specific architectural vision, we design fully custom estate mausoleums — incorporating classical columns, arched entries, carved relief panels, stained glass, and any other architectural elements the family desires.
Construction Standards
Built to Last Centuries
Structural Engineering
Every mausoleum we build is engineered to meet or exceed applicable structural codes. We work with licensed structural engineers to ensure foundations, walls, and roofing systems are built for permanence.
Premium Materials
We use only the highest-grade granite, marble, and bronze in our mausoleum construction. Interior surfaces are finished to the same standard as our finest monuments — polished, sealed, and built to resist weathering.
Cemetery Coordination
We manage all aspects of cemetery approval, permitting, and coordination. Our team has built working relationships with cemeteries throughout the Mid-South and handles the administrative process on your behalf.
The Mausoleum Process
A Project of Permanence
01
Site & Vision Consultation
We begin with an on-site consultation at the cemetery to assess the location, review cemetery regulations, and discuss your architectural vision and family requirements.
02
Architectural Design
Our design team produces detailed architectural drawings and 3D renderings for your review. We refine the design through multiple rounds until every detail reflects your vision.
03
Permitting & Approvals
We manage all cemetery approvals, municipal permits, and engineering certifications. You are kept informed at every step, but we handle the complexity.
04
Construction & Completion
Our construction team builds your mausoleum to the approved plans, with regular site visits and progress updates. Final inspection and handover are conducted with you present.
Commission a Structure That Endures
