J lT ft- it THE NEW OUTDOOR GARDEN TYPE COMMUNITY For the Newmarket Cemetery will provide a clean dry burial above ground at a cost of less than the average ground burial A SANCTUARY OF MEMORIES DEDICATED TO THE SPIRIT OF IMMORTALITY I Arrangements have been completed with the Newmarket Cemetery Board for the construction of an Outdoor Garden Type Mausoleum The beautifully landscaped grounds of the Newmarket Cemetery will have this stately and inspiring Mausoleum shown on the above photograph This monolithic structure will be as fine as money art and modern science build The building is to be of steel reinforced concrete with seven scientific vapour barriers which will prevent moisture or dampness from entering the building The exterior walls will be of imported white limestone imported PVE marble and bronze all of which have been carefully selected for their strength and durability The beauty of the Mausoleum will bring comfort to the bereaved and will remind the visitor not of death but of the happy memories of life The Mausoleum like the Cem etery will be endowed for perpetual care The growing de mand for the Outdoor Garden Type Mausoleum is shown by the fact that so many have been and are being built This will now accord residents of Newmarket and surrounding dist ricts the opportunity to participate in a mode of burial that heretofore was not available DOWN THROUGH THE CENTURIES A thousand years before Christ the pyramid of King Cheops of Egypt was old and mysterious According to Greek historian Herodotus it took onehundred thousand workers twenty years to build at a cost of more than twenty five bill ion dollars and pauperized the people of the Egyptian Em pire In BC King of Caria in Asia Minor died and his Queen Artemesia erected a magnificent tomb in which to place his remains These structures became known as two of the seven wonders of the ancient world In modern times all structures serving a similar purpose have taken their name from King Mausolus and are known as Mausol eums Our Lord Jesus Christ was laid to rest in a rock hewn tomb or sepulchre and early Christians followed that custom The wealthier class of people have used this mode of burial exclusively for many centuries The Kings and Queens of England the American Presidents and National heroes of all countries are buried in tombs or Mausoleums Until com paratively recent times such structures were built to accom modate the remains of a single individual or family A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER Private tombs or mausoleums have always been too cost ly for any except the rich or great In recent years however the Ontario Mausoleum Company Limited have been build ing Community Mausoleums for families desiring to provide a clean dry resting place for their loved ones v PEACE OF MIND What treasures can you give to match the blessings of piece of mind to free those dear to you from the haunting fear of unpreparedness on a day that comes without warn ing The deed to your family crypt is as to your families security program as your insurance policy your savings and your will Death is no respector of person or persons sooner or later every family must face bereavement The average death follows a period of heavy expenses and in many instances there is a loss of income The insurance and savings intended for the care of the loved ones or the education of the children is depleted and the family left in debt From time it has been mans custom to re vere the dead and it is a comforting thought to know that one has done all that is possible and has provided his loved ones with the most suitable resting place which he now can provide To make provisions for a final resting place which will be secure and ready is not only a duty owed to our dead but it is evidence to the living of our desire for their well be ing both now and always In the case of death the grief is so great and the decisions so numerous that many regrettable and irrevocable mistakes are made To neglect making these arrangements until a death occurs imposes on others to make decisions which you in your life time should have made and which you now can make Only when the mind is undisturbed by grief can this important duty be disposed of calmly and intelligently Every family deserves the protection which the ownership of Mausoleum space offers In the same manner that farsighted people plan their insurance programme and otherwise make provisions for further needs many people are reserving Mausoleum space for themselves and families There are many reasons for this The same business judgment demands it that prompts you to money to carry life insurance and to make your will Now in the calm of health you can consider and choose that which you think is best an almost impossi bility when a death occurs and the familys mind and judg ment is racked with despair Mausoleum entombment is a scientific and civilized as well as a sentimental mode of car ing for the dead At present the cost is no more and In most cases not as much as ground burial when a lot monument vault and other cemetery expenses are considered The Building is the monument far surpassing in size and beauty and other form of monument or memorial The new Mausoleum will provide a family memorial and protected resting place com bined that will afford infinite consolation when memories remain 3 This mode of entombment is both reasonable and Our Lord Jesus Christ was laid to rest in a rock hewn tomb and early Christians followed this custom Preparation is wisdoms cure for only cure Insuring the house does not prepare it to burn but pre pares us to live without worry as to the ever present possibil ity of it burning Providing for mausoleum protection is pre paration to live without worry as to the ever present possi bility of loved ones dying It is an investment because when a Mausoleum is built in an area this size all space is contracted for before it is built therefore space is limited only to those who have bought The Company will provide a receiving vault in the event of death between the time of securing space and the com pletion of the Mausoleum To protect and be protected to re member and be remembered a natural human desire is re flected in the selection of a family burial place before the need for it arises Buying before the time of actual need is the easier wiser kindlier way The Rt Hon William Gladstone once said Show me the manner in which a nation or community cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical ex actness the tender sympathies of the people their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals The project is being financed built and supervised by the Ontario Mausoleum Co Ltd Anyone desiring further in formation should contact Mr Teschner phone Twining or Mr MacLeod phone Twining or mail the coupon below There will be no obligation on your part what so ever for a detailed explanation of this subject ONTARIO MAUSOLEUM CO LTD 350 Wallace Avenuet TORONTO ONTARIO I would be interested in securing further in formation regarding proposed mausoleum Name Address
