RICORO DI SUO SPOSO E FIGLI
The mausoleum is flanked by a pair of stone urns and benches. The 2-paneled door is verdigrised bronze. Inside, there is a stained glass window showing Joseph holding the Christ child. There are 6 crypts inside, 3 on each side, although the left side is empty and on the right side, the bottom space has 3 baby internments. The inside of the mausoleum appears as if no one may have visited it in awhile.
