When it comes to creating a lasting memorial for your family, family mausoleum construction offers a dignified and enduring option that honors your loved ones for generations to come. Delphos Granite Works, one of the largest monument companies in northwest Ohio, specializes in designing and constructing personalized private estates and mausoleums that serve as permanent tributes to those who have passed. With over four generations of craftsmanship and expertise, we understand the importance of creating a memorial that reflects your family's unique heritage and values.
What Makes a Family Mausoleum Special?
A family mausoleum is more than just a burial structure—it's a private sanctuary that provides above-ground entombment for multiple family members. Unlike traditional ground burials, mausoleums offer a clean, dignified resting place that can be visited year-round, regardless of weather conditions. These structures can be customized with meaningful symbols, inscriptions, and architectural details that tell your family's story for centuries to come.
The Construction Process
Delphos Granite Works approaches each family mausoleum construction project with meticulous attention to detail and a deep respect for your wishes. Our experienced craftsmen combine old-world artisanship with modern technology to ensure structural integrity and aesthetic beauty. From the initial design consultation to the final installation, we handle every aspect of the construction process in our state-of-the-art facilities located in Delphos, Ohio.
Design Options and Personalization
At Delphos Granite Works, we offer virtually unlimited customization options for your private estate mausoleum. You can choose from various granite colors, add decorative urns and vases, incorporate wings and architectural enhancements, or include religious and family symbols carved by experienced artisans. Whether you prefer a classic design or something more contemporary, our professional staff will guide you through every decision to create a memorial that truly represents your family's legacy.
Benefits of Choosing Above-Ground Entombment
Investing in family mausoleum construction offers several practical advantages. By making this decision before the need arises, you reduce estate taxes and eliminate the costs associated with individual monuments, vaults, and underground burial expenses. This makes above-ground entombment comparable in cost to traditional burial while providing a more distinguished and permanent memorial.
Quality and Craftsmanship
The reputation for quality that our founder J.G. Birkmeier established 120 years ago remains the cornerstone of everything we do at Delphos Granite Works today. Unlike retail dealers who outsource their stonework, we perform all sandblasting, laser etching, diamond etching, and finishing work in our own factory. This ensures quality control at every stage and guarantees that your family mausoleum construction will withstand the test of time.
Whether you're planning ahead or need immediate assistance, Delphos Granite Works is here to help you create a lasting tribute that honors your family's memory with dignity and grace.
