How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter building length and width in feet, and number of crypt levels high.
  2. Set corridor width (ft) and select crypt type (single or companion).
  3. Review Total Crypts, Total Interment Capacity, Crypts per Level, and Crypts per 100 sq ft.
  4. Use efficiency per 100 sq ft to compare different building configurations.

What each input means

Building length (ft)
Exterior length of the mausoleum building in feet.
Building width (ft)
Exterior width of the mausoleum building in feet.
Crypt levels high
Number of crypt tiers stacked vertically (typically 2-6).
Corridor width (ft)
Width of interior walkway corridors (5-8 ft typical).
Crypt type (0=single, 1=companion)
0 for single crypts (~33 in wide), 1 for companion/double crypts (~66 in wide).

What each result means

Total crypts
Total number of crypt spaces in the mausoleum.
Total interment capacity
Total remains capacity (companion crypts hold 2).
Crypts per level
Number of crypt spaces on each tier.
Corridor sections
Number of corridor/wing sections that fit in the building width.
Building area (sq ft)
Gross floor area of the mausoleum footprint.
Crypts per 100 sq ft
Density metric: crypts per 100 sq ft of floor area.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Building length (ft) = 60, Building width (ft) = 30, Crypt levels high = 4, Corridor width (ft) = 6 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total crypts
    Total crypts = cryptsPerLevel * cryptLevelsHigh
    160 = 160
  3. Calculate Total interment capacity
    Total interment capacity = totalCrypts * intermentsPerCrypt
    160 = 160
  4. Calculate Crypts per level
    Crypts per level = cryptsPerRow * totalCryptRows
    40 = 40
  5. Calculate Corridor sections
    Corridor sections = max(1, floor(usableWidth / sectionWidth))
    1 = 1
