I love old cemeteries, this one is really cool

They have Mausoleum Row where all of the millionaires of the gilded age are resting. I drive through it every now and then, check it out. http://www.stjoearts.org/agencies/MtMora/mausoleum%20one.htm

4. Sometimes I wonder if they may be a thing of the past

With the popularity of cremation and scattering of ashes. It seems to break a link with the past, cremation is something I want myself, but I'd like to leave a footprint of some sort for a while anyway.

5. So,what's the deal with mausoleums?

Are you allowed to go inside or do you pay your respects outside like it's a grave? I love mausoleums BTW, very interesting stuff.
