What Above-Ground Burial Means

A mausoleum in Tacoma offers families a permanent, above-ground place to honor a loved one in a protected setting. Instead of being buried below ground, the casket is placed in a sealed crypt within a mausoleum. This provides a lasting place to visit in comfort throughout the year. At our Lakewood Memorial Park, we offer a variety of above-ground burial options to fit different wishes and budgets, and our caring team will guide you through every decision, making the process clear, simple and personal.

Mausoleum Questions

  • A mausoleum is a building designed for above-ground burial, where caskets are placed in sealed crypts instead of below ground. Families choose this option because it provides a permanent, sheltered place to visit and remember loved ones throughout the year.
