The most common finishes on the exterior of private mausoleums are polished, steeled and rock pitch.
When using Barre Grey granite Great Mausoleums prefers a steeled finish over a polished finish. The steeled finish on Barre Grey Granite lends a classic look to the building and is preferred in most cases.
When using a granite that is a color other than grey it is often desirable to have an all polished finish. When using either Mountain Rose, American Red or Mahogany granite Great Mausoleums prefers an all polished finished. The polished finish allows the color of the granite to truly shine. Keep in mind that we have gone with an all steeled finish on a Mountain Rose mausoleum and the result was great.
Mixing in a rock pitch finish adds tremendously to the design and should be considered when appropriate.
In the end, the finish on the granite is up to the individual purchasing the mausoleum. Great Mausoleums will make recommendation and show samples to help each client make the right choice for their private mausoleum
