The nature of immortality is changing. Men once endeavored to be remembered by their deeds alone. Today, more and more people are also choosing to immortalize family members – or themselves – through elaborate monuments and mausoleums. A recent Wall Street Journal article about “Million-Dollar Mausoleums” outlines the shift toward more elaborate memorials and mausoleums.
As baby boomers age, industry experts predict the monuments will become even more whimsical and luxurious. The shift is worldwide; ultramodern mausoleums in parts of Europe resemble art installations, while mausoleums in the Philippines house air conditioning, kitchenettes, and even hot tubs. Today, the focus has shifted to going out with style.
Monuments to Make a Statement
The main focus of this Wall Street Journal article is the wide array of options available to individuals and families who want to make a statement through their mausoleum choice. Some families prefer a more classic look such as the Forever Legacy mausoleums featured in our gallery of Classic Mausoleums. Others prefer an open-air memorial, such as a beautiful gazebo similar in style to our Memorial 8.
As a premier private estate provider, Forever Legacy offers more than a conventional mausoleum style. For families who really want to make a statement, Forever Legacy creates a custom design that truly expresses a family’s style.
Luxury isn’t just for the living. One mausoleum in the Wall Street Journal article featured a master-closet monument filled with the decedent’s couture collection. The expert designers at Forever Legacy incorporate highly individualized details and luxurious features to convey an individual’s personality or to create a whimsical and memorable final resting place.
