An above-ground mausoleum construction formed of a plurality of interlocking, precast, monolithic modular units forming crypts arranged in tiers, is disclosed. A single tier includes a right end, intermediate, and left end modular unit, each of which includes at least two upstanding walls, an upper horizontal portion and a rear wall, the spacing of each of the walls being uniformly predetermined so as to receive a casket therein. Each module is designed to be interfitted and sealed with non-shrinking grout with a next adjacent module forming non-aligned horizontal and vertical lap joints. In this manner, a substantially monolithic structure is obtained. Each of the upstanding side wall portions merges with the horizontal slab portion at an expanded haunch portion which is provided with anchors for supporting a removable face plate. Each crypt is readily sealed with a closure plate sealingly positioned at the open end of the crypt within recess provided along the perimeter thereof. By this construction, a highly stable, rigid, self-supporting, interlocking structure is achieved, capable of withstanding external stresses without damage. An economically desirable system is also provided. |
