Why People Choose A Mausoleum With A Granite Base Course [Architecture And Construction Guidelines]

In Chapter 20 of The Essential Buyers’ Guide to Private Family Mausoleums, you’ll learn why mausoleums with a granite base course using architecture and construction guidelines are so important. 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.
Factors that go into a high quality base course include:
• Made of a single slab of thick high grade granite for strength, durability, and to prevent moisture from entering the mausoleum.
• Larger mausoleums can have multiple base courses to provide more stability and help prevent flood damage.
• Extends beyond the side walls to prevent contact with the wet ground
A poorly constructed mausoleum may have no base course at all, allowing the side walls to contact the ground and draw moisture up into the crypt.
A low quality base course:
• Has low grade granite or even porous concrete
• Does not extend beyond the side walls, exposing the mausoleum to ground moisture.
• Uses thin granite slabs
• Multiple slabs of granite are used when just one solid slab could provide stronger support.
• Uses weak, porous concrete instead of granite
• Granite veneer is used to hide the use of concrete
Make sure your mausoleum base course is made with high quality materials and construction techniques.
