Crypt Entombment
Crypt entombment is a type of burial designed to hold casketed or cremated remains of the body usually in an above ground structure.
Mausoleum Entombment
The interior of the mausoleum chapel provides warmth and comfort to those paying respect and there is truly a feeling of peace and beauty. The indoor mausoleum is very modern—and yet historical—and offers both a combination of comfort to the living and dignity with honor for the remembered. Our interior mausoleums have chairs or benches for people to sit, reflect, pray and remember. In addition, our indoor mausoleums are climate-controlled for your comfort.
The garden mausoleum features crypts that are shaded and protected by patio roof extensions overlooking beautifully landscaped courtyards and religious icons. In this setting, the beauty of nature is combined with mausoleum entombment. When garden crypts are used, chapel services may be held inside the chapel mausoleum in the event of inclement weather.
Mausoleum Crypt property selections can be just as affordable as in-ground burial property selections. Catholic Cemeteries of the Diocese of Joliet has Mausoleum inventory available, conveniently located and available throughout our diocese:

Lawn Crypt
A lawn crypt is an underground mausoleum and offers the same traditional in-ground burial with the exception that each burial includes a concrete outer container that has been pre-installed in the ground.
Our lawn crypt packages include a double depth lawn crypt interment rite for two, two interment fees (opening and closing) and a bronze on granite lawn crypt memorial with a bronze vase.
Lawn Crypts are available in two locations:
- All Saints Cemetery, Mausoleum & Columbaria, Bourbonnais
