| Since
1927, Ferncliff Cemetery, one of the pioneers of community
mausoleum development, has offered the highest quality community mausoleum
space at affordable prices. Continuing the tradition of the Ferncliff
Mausoleum and Shrine of Memories, Ferncliff
completed construction of its climate controlled, Rosewood Mausoleum
in October of 1999.
The Shrine of Memories construction started in 1956. The
building is all steel and block with a limestone exterior and consists
of seven units. The footprint is 89,099 with total square footage in
excess of 115,000. Within, walls of marble and brick, stained glass
windows and a delicate fountain make the building a truly fitting expression
of remembrance. The building inventory, which is primarily sold out,
consisted of single and end companion crypts. Basic year-round comforts
of modern heating, lighting and ventilation systems are provided as
well. The maintenance facility is located in the rear of the Shrine
and houses most of the cemetery equipment.

The
Ferncliff Mausoleum (a.k.a. the Cathedral of Memories) was
constructed starting in 1927. The footing of the building consists of
64,681 square feet, and the total square footage is more than 200,000
square feet. There are eleven separate units, with the first eight constructed
of concrete, and the last three of steel and block. The exterior of
the building is granite, with the exception of Unit 11 with a limestone
exterior. Stained glass windows soften and warm the marble corridors
and alcoves while Oriental rugs muffle the tread of the bereaved. The
building has a wide variety of inventory products including crypts,
glass niches, marble niches, and private rooms that are primarily sold
out. Additionally, the administrative offices, crematory, and chapel
are located within the structure. The building provides the basic year-round
comforts of modern heating, lighting and ventilation systems.
The
Rosewood Mausoleum was constructed starting in 1996.
The interior masonry consists of a concrete foundation with the upper
floors constructed of steel and block. Elegant granites from Quebec
adorn the exterior. The warm glow of soothing natural light emanating
from a hexagonal glass dome above the central rotunda, and floor to
ceiling windows throughout the mausoleum majestically reveal the soft
colored marbles and terrazzo adorning all walls and floors. A suspended
glass and marble staircase is the focal point of the building, which
is softened by interior landscape with contrasting textures and colors.
Currently, there is 33,150 square feet of the building developed, with
an additional 42,000 square feet of space that is undeveloped and not
yet being used. Please visit the
