Garden mausoleums are outdoor burial structures designed for above-ground interment. Unlike traditional indoor mausoleums, garden mausoleums are located in open-air settings, which makes them more cost-effective to maintain, as they do not require indoor lighting or climate control. This can be especially beneficial for cemeteries in colder climates.

Garden mausoleums contain crypts that can hold either caskets or urns. While they are generally more affordable than indoor mausoleums, they still offer many of the same advantages—providing a dignified and permanent resting place for loved ones in a serene, landscaped setting. They also offer protection from the elements, making them a respectful and lasting option for memorialization and visitation.
