Are there different types of crypts?
Yes. There are single crypts that hold one casket. Two side-by-side single crypts are used by a couple pre-arranging together. In a tandem or “true companion” crypt, both caskets are placed in the same crypt. Couch crypts allow for a larger piece of granite for memorialization. The level (e.g. 1st, 2nd, etc.) of the crypt determines the price, with the highest crypts being the least expensive.
Yes. Memorial Park Cemetery Mausoleum provides single crypts, designed for one entombment only, plus companion crypts which permit two entombments side by side. Most mausolea are built five, six and seven crypts high. The price of the crypt will depend on its location and the type of crypt. For example: upper level crypts are usually less expensive than those located at eye or heart level.
Yes. Single crypts are designed for one entombment only. There are three different kinds of double crypts: tandem crypts permit two entombments lengthwise in a crypt; companion crypts permit two entombments side-by-side; Westminster crypts permit two entombments, the first below floor level, and the second above it. Most mausolea are built five, six and seven crypts high. The price of the crypt will depend on its location and the type of crypt. For example: upper level crypts are usually less expensive than those located at eye level.
