CROWN HILL

USO

HOUSANDS will now be able to afford above-ground entombment in a carefully-appointed, non-sectarian memorial perpetually maintained "i... in our community's exclusive Crown Hill tradition of inspiring beauty

at lower, non-profit cost . . . preserved with comforting certainty down the long corridors of time.

Selecting Crown Hill's circular plot north of the Maple Road underpass, public-spitited corporators of the nation’s’ third largest cemetery have envisioned jewel-colored “storied windows" against immaculate, handcarved Indiana limestone . . . massive, bronze doors guarding a classic entrance to a spacious foyer, just below a lovely Cathedral-windowed chapel . . . single and companion crypts, columbariums for urns, and private, alcoved chapel-sanctuaries of desired size and location, #n one's own partial choice of design and matévial | . | récessed by locked bronze gates off quietly removed corridors near the chapel . . | all in soft-toned

marbles beautifully lighted . . . and the most modern of crematories,

including its own chapel, directly accessible by automobile from a

canopied drive, as well as by stairs or elevator from within the Mausoleum.

Above-earth entombment is as old as recorded history . . . even the

word ‘mausoleum’ itself. goes back 2300 years to one of the "Seven °

Wonders of the World"... back to Helicarnassus and the marble splendor of the tomb of King Mausolus of Caria.

Now we may look forward to a majestic memorial for our own families + + » comforted, pending its completion, by knowledge of the excellent interim ieceiving vaults in Crown Hill's present Gothic stone Chapel, further bespeaking a foresight which has characterized our corporators

since the cemetery's inception nearly 83 years ago. . ) ; 5

There is comfort, too, in knowledge that perpetual maintenance of Crown Hill Mausoleum, as of the cemetery itself, is financially assured by law. . . requiring no greater assistance than continuously fragrant resurrections of lilac and dogwood to confirm, in the words of Goethe, that

“an infinite debt’ has been "discharged through all eternity,”
