Podesta family mausoleum:
Over the door:
PODESTA
1930
Note: The mausoleum is flanked by 2 urns, which were planted with geraniums at the time of my visit. The Lombardo mausoleum next door also had the same flowers planted in its urns which makes me wonder if the families are related. There is a stained glass window of the Virgin Mary which has been damaged (Mary is faceless), possibly by water leakage. There is room for 10 internments, 4 on each side and 2 in the back.
