Why do some people choose above ground burials?
Some people choose a mausoleum for their final burial spot. Mausoleums provide spaces above the ground. A crypt is a full burial space for a casket. A niche is a space for cremated remains and an urn. When choosing mausoleum space instead of ground burial, there is no need for a vault or headstone or marker, since the marble or granite front serves as a memorial for the deceased.
