There are 6 crypts, but 1 is empty and 1 has 3 internments, making the total number of internments 7. there is a stained glass window at the back depicting Christ. The window is broken. There is an altar below the window with religious statues, votive candles and cleaning supplies on it. There is a broom leaning against the altar, but the amount of dirt and debris on the floor makes it likely that no one has entered the mausoleum in some time.
