Living It Up in the Afterlife

There’sbeen a growing market in the high-end entombment industry for those preferringto be buried above ground rather than below.

Dealerslike Forever Legacy cater to high-net-worth individuals looking for “indoormausoleums, granite walls, private estates, and even air conditioning.”  And it isn’t cheap.  Starting around $40,000 and climbing quicklyinto the millions, mausoleums help ensure the wealthy can protect theirlegacy.  However, some wealthyindividuals say it’s not about their ego, but more about having acomfortable place for their families to visit. Although private mausoleums are quite expensive, prices become more manageablefor the average people if they don’t mind having neighbors.
