Wednesday was Crypt Installation Day here at Venice Memorial Gardens, and it was an incredible sight to see and experience to be apart of.

We received and installed three new granite crypts—each a different size—using a large crane and a truckload weighing nearly 42,000 lbs.

1 Single Crypt
1 Side-by-Side Crypt
1 Triple-Height Crypt (3 stacked high)

Watching these beautifully crafted pieces be placed onto our grounds was a powerful reminder of the care and permanence we provide to the families we serve. These structures will stand for generations as places of honor, remembrance, and legacy.

Now, it’s time to shift our focus to the final touches—fresh sod, landscaping, and finishing details to ensure each private estate property looks beautiful and complete for these families and all families that visit our beautiful park.

Grateful for my incredible team, our valued partners, our trusted local vendors, and a picture-perfect Florida day that made this installation seamless. A big thank you to Matthews International, our granite vendor, for their support throughout this process, and to Levi Kelling with Venice Construction Services, LLC, our local vendor, for their expertise with the crane operation.
