Mausoleums have been part of society for hundreds of years. Some of the World’s most recognizable mausoleums are the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Taj Mahal, and even the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament Parish in Altoona are all example of Mausoleums. Today’s mausoleums are upscaled and designed for 1 or more people and can be a combination of above ground traditional burial and cremation niches. These types of monuments allow the remains to be protected above ground by granite or marble at all times. Mausoleums are known as one of the finest forms of burial. Being that granite is as durable as it is, rest assured, your loved one will be protected for generations.
The Shoemaker Monument Co. has been designing mausoleums and memorializing loved ones since 1970. It is our goal to create a meaningful memorial that exceeds your expectations for service and quality.
