Mausoleums at Waikumete....

Thank you so much Janette!
Nikolai implied that it may be empty.....
How odd though as it looks freshly painted
I will have to do some research on mausoleums.

I saw your profile on facebook nick ..... and I went all shy 

Anyway back to the mausoleums.
Went to a great family get together yesterday, which wasn't a funeral or a wedding YAY!
Before going to this my daughter and I went to check out the mausoleum suburb of Waikumete.
They weren't hard to find and we were just awe struck!
The road they were on was like Queen Street, endless cars coming and going, to and from somewhere?
We walked the whole street, trying to work out how these things worked.
Some of the crypts had names and some didn't.
Some had doors with locks ..... some didn't?
Most of the names were Dallie sounding and the majority ended in ich or ic.
We came upon one that is nearly finished being built, which was the size of a small house ....
NORCROSS was the proud name inscribed across the top.  I had to take pics.. as it had an atrium and two separate resting places..... I'm having trouble loading pics - so will load one and carry on
