How to Use This Calculator
- Enter building length and width in feet, and number of crypt levels high.
- Set corridor width (ft) and select crypt type (single or companion).
- Review Total Crypts, Total Interment Capacity, Crypts per Level, and Crypts per 100 sq ft.
- Use efficiency per 100 sq ft to compare different building configurations.
How the result changes with Building length (ft)
| Building length (ft) | Total crypts | Total interment capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 59 | 160 | 160 |
| 182 | 520 | 520 |
| 329 | 944 | 944 |
| 451 | 1,296 | 1,296 |
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
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersBuilding length (ft) = 60, Building width (ft) = 30, Crypt levels high = 4, Corridor width (ft) = 6 = 5 input(s) provided
- Calculate Total cryptsTotal crypts = cryptsPerLevel * cryptLevelsHigh160 = 160
- Calculate Total interment capacityTotal interment capacity = totalCrypts * intermentsPerCrypt160 = 160
- Calculate Crypts per levelCrypts per level = cryptsPerRow * totalCryptRows40 = 40
- Calculate Corridor sectionsCorridor sections = max(1, floor(usableWidth / sectionWidth))1 = 1
