Christ The King Catholic Mausoleum
Saint Maximilian’s Christ the King Catholic Mausoleum has been opened since November, 2013. Crypts and niches are available to purchase in the Saint Francis Section. Christ the King Catholic Mausoleum offers mausoleum entombment, and niches for the inurnment of cremated remains. It is intended to serve as the final resting place for those deceased who have been baptized in the Catholic faith and for their spouse who may be of another faith.
Why a Catholic Mausoleum?
- Because of our belief in the resurrection of the body at the end of time, when Jesus comes again.
- The Catholic Mausoleum is consecrated ground, a sacred place.
- It offers a place for the physical body, so the soul can join with our lord.
- Just as the human body deserves to be treated with dignity and respect in life, so should it be in death.
Jesus said to her,
“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
-John 11:25-26
Why Plan Ahead?
It’s understandable, that no one likes to think about death, but the truth is that preparing for the inevitable passage into a new and everlasting life makes spiritual, emotional and practical sense. In fact, pre-planning your Catholic burial arrangements is a gift, both to you and those you love. Here are a few reasons why you should consider making this important choice today –
Faith
When Jesus knew He was about to leave this world, He instructed His followers as to how to remember Him. As Catholics, burial choices we make should reflect His teachings and our faith.
A Welcome Sense of Comfort
Making arrangements at the time of death often means coping with a family crisis, which carries with it emotional strain. By making advanced decisions, families gain a measure of comfort and relief, creating an environment in which to better support each other and celebrate life.
Peace of Mind
The need to purchase burial space is inevitable. Why delay enjoying the peace of mind that comes with making your choice in advance and knowing you’ve helped make a difficult time easier?
Favorable Terms
A pre-planned purchase allows you to pay over an extended period of time, with no interest or finance charges in the first year.
It’s Logical
Most of us give ourselves an appropriate length of time to prepare and plan for the important things we do in life. Decisions regarding your final resting place deserve the same thoughtful consideration, without needless pressure.
Your Choice
Pre-planning burial arrangements is a sure way to make certain that your wishes are understood and that your loved ones will not need to decide in haste without your help.
Selection
The sooner you begin the process, the more desirable locations and the greatest number of options you will have to choose from.
Significant Savings
Higher purchase prices in the future are inevitable. Pre-planning protects your savings by “locking in” today’s lower prices and eliminates the possibility that your family will be left with an unnecessary financial burden.
Flower Program
Christ the King Catholic Mausoleum offers an optional floral memorial program to honor our departed loved ones through the placement of seasonal silk arrangements for crypts or niches.
Lettering and Inscription
Along with our standard lettering/inscriptions for our crypts and niches, we offer additional lettering/inscription choices to meet your needs.
Cremation Urns
Cremation urns are available in a broad range of styles and materials to meet the needs of any family. The handcrafted Aria Urns provide several innovated designs. Our beautiful Hardwood Chest Urns are created with the finest wood, deeply staining, then hand finishing to a high gloss shine. The Legacy Urns are precision die-cast out of aluminum and powder coated for durability in nine colors. All of the urns we sell are the correct size for our Single Niches and our Companion Niches.
We understand that burial planning may be an uncomfortable prospect for many people. To clarify the process, we are happy to arrange a personal consultation at your convenience to review costs and offer guidance as you make this important decision.
