Crypt
A concrete enclosure for interment. Mausoleum crypts are generally above ground and in buildings.
Crypts in garden mausoleums also are usually above ground but are open to the outside rather than
being in an enclosed building.
Types of crypts are:
Mausoleum Crypt - interior;
Garden Crypt - exterior; Lawn
Crypt - below ground.

Tablet or Slab Headstones One of the oldest ways to mark a grave. Early ones were thin
rectangles, later evolved into “slice of bread” look. Today they are wider and vary much in height
and cut. Originally intended to look like the headboard of a bed.
