Custom Mausoleums

Dio + Co. gold line

Completely Custom Single, Double, and Multi Crypt Mausoleums

Dio + Co. designs and builds elegant and completely custom mausoleums and columbariums. A mausoleum is a free-standing cemetery building that contains the grave, tomb, or burial chamber of your loved one. Options include single crypt, double crypt, private family multiple crypt, chapel walk-in, garden/outdoor or sepulcher, classically-styled walk-in, vestibule, Westminster family crypts, cemetery-owned outdoor, and cemetery-owned outdoor walk-in mausoleums.

Our larger custom mausoleums can also include additional elements like a chapel or a niche for cremated remains and can be for any number of graves. The shape, style, and color are completely customizable, as well as the adornments accompanying the mausoleum.

Single Crypt mausoleums are designed to hold one person. There are three types of single crypts, all of which can be customized to meet your family's wishes.

Double Crypt
Mausoleum

Double crypt mausoleums are built to hold two people. Double crypts can be an above-ground burial vault, a garden mausoleum, a walk-in mausoleum, or a chapel mausoleum. Crypts are a great option as they don't experience underground weather damage.

Experience Dio + Co.

There's so much we experience in our lives that help guide the mausoleum design process. There are the big moments that shape us—graduation, a first job, falling in love and getting married, having children, and seeing children grow into adulthood. When we reflect on our lives, these memories and milestones may come to mind first. At Dio+Co., we care about our clients and pride ourselves in helping them leave behind a symbol of their legacy and that of their entire family.

Quality Materials Make all of the difference

Quality Granite

The construction of a custom mausoleum begins at the quarry, where granite is extracted from the earth and sent to mills to cut and process. High-grade granite is ideal for use in the construction of mausoleums because of its strength, durability, and beauty.

GRANITE DETAILS

  • From reputable quarries in the U.S. & Canada
  • Hard, strong, durable
  • Non-porous; moisture-resistant
  • Limits vibrations
  • Smooth, even surface; No cracks, pits, or bumps
  • Beautiful, unique granite colors and vibrant patterns

Foundation

The foundation of a mausoleum provides solid support for the base course and mausoleum structure. Without a good foundation, the mausoleum will absorb water and can shift with the ground, causing cracking and tilting.

FOUNDATION DETAILS

  • Made with 100% high-grade concrete
  • Single layer, several feet deep
  • Spread under the entire footprint of the mausoleum
  • Prevents water from entering
  • Prevents cracking and tilting of structure
  • Wire mesh keeps concrete intact

Base Course

The base course is a large slab of granite that rests on the concrete foundation, supporting the weight of the mausoleum and keeping it off the wet, unstable ground.

BASE COURSE DETAILS

  • Single slab of thick granite for strength and durability
  • Prevents moisture from entering the crypt
  • Extends beyond the side walls to prevent contact with wet ground
  • Multiple base courses for larger mausoleums provide more stability and less flood damage

Side Walls

The side walls of a mausoleum need to have the strength and integrity to support the whole structure and, at the same time, look beautiful. The thickness and quality of the granite, along with the number of joints needed, are some of the factors that go into determining the mausoleum’s durability and safety

SIDEWALL DETAILS

  • Up to 8” thick high-grade granite for maximum strength
  • Large slabs minimize the number of joints, which strengthens the structure
  • Solid granite with no fillers—lasts longer, won’t deteriorate
  • Walls are off the ground & supported by the base course so that they do not absorb moisture from the ground

Joints

The slabs of granite on a mausoleum are separated by the joints. They keep water out and provide a cushion that prevents the granite from cracking. A good joint requires high-quality adhesive and joint compound. The thinner the joint, the better. With high-quality joints, the mausoleum will stay dry and last a long, long time.

JOINTS DETAILS

  • Smaller joint gaps – 1/8” or less
  • Joints never touch the ground
  • Won’t absorb moisture or deteriorate
  • High-quality sealant
  • Fewer joints are required due to larger granite slabs

Roof

The roof of a mausoleum protects the crypt from the elements. The thickness of the granite, quality of the granite, number of joints needed, and ability to drain water are critical elements that factor into a mausoleum’s longevity.

ROOF DETAILS

  • Up to 12” thick for maximum strength
  • Large slabs require fewer joints
  • Solid granite; No fillers... Lasts longer with no deterioration
  • Drainage system engineered into the design

High Quality Mausoleum Construction

At Dio + Co., we only use the best, high-quality materials and craftsmanship to ensure that your custom mausoleum is constructed the right way. Our custom mausoleums are built with high-quality granite, side walls, base course, joints, roof, and foundation, which will last for centuries, even millennia!

 

Mausoleums built with inferior design, materials, and craftsmanship won't last as long and can even start to deteriorate in just a few years. We only source granite from quarries in North America, and our mausoleums are designed and assembled in Rochester, Pennsylvania.

 

Dio + Co. was founded in 1934 by Michael Dioguardi, a skilled stone cutter from Rome, Italy. Since then, four generations of mausoleum builders have designed luxury resting memorials. Technology has changed dramatically over the years, but we still consider ourselves sculptors of exquisite custom-carved mausoleums.

 

From multiple crypts or a family mausoleum, to every other type in between; if you want your mausoleum built to last for generations, don’t settle for less than the best.

Families frequently ask us to design mausoleums that use symbols, designs, and imagery that have special significance to the deceased, as well as custom artwork created by the families themselves with the help of our designers.

CUSTOM SHAPES

The shape and size of a custom mausoleum distinguishes it more than anything else in a cemetery. Use your imagination and think of a shape that no one else has. Then, we’ll build it just for you!

CUSTOM STYLES

Common cemetery memorials include flat (flush or lawn level) markers, upright monuments, bevel-shaped monuments, slant-shaped monuments, memorial benches, statues, and mausoleums. Make them uncommon with a personalized design from Dio + Co.
