I have been a funeral director and embalmer for many years. Every time we have a mausoleum service I have this warm and comforting feeling. Mausoleums are the best choice and will always be the best chioce of interment. Even with the problems sometimes encountered, they provide a more dignified burial place for family to visit out of the harsh elements of weather. Think about it. Cremation is just not appealing. Ground burials are, however traditional, not in my opinion very appealing either. Lets face it kids, mausoleums are the “Six Flags of Fun” of interment. So what, if you get an occassional smell of rotting flesh, a fly in your eye, or the hint of liquid leaking down the wall. These things are only exciting reminders of the delightful future that awaits us all. Birmingham, Alabama July 6, 2011
