Geocache Description:


This cache was originally placed for the fifth annual Greater Omaha Grave Hop, an event that takes place in the Omaha area. The caches are located in and around cemeteries. Please be respectful and search for the caches between dawn and dusk.

 

Mausoleums are one of the most interesting places in cemeteries. It is just a peek inside the bulidings, where these families have set aside space for their departed love ones. My favorite thing about these bulidlings are the stained glass that is used to light the room of remeberance. My second favorite thing is, it very interesting what family members leave in these rooms or adorn the outside of the building.  Some things you will find are photos, chairs, dried flowers (that were once also alive), and even a broom. 

For this multi there are no coordinates given other than a starting point.  There are a good number of mausoleums in this cemetery, not all are used in this multi. You are to only use the free standing mausoleums for your answers. The large multi unit at the gate of this cemetery is not used for this multi. It would be best to drive to each bulidling and look at the outside, finding the family name. Decide if this buliding is used in the multi and then get out and look inside to the room of rememberance or look at the outside of the building to answer the following questions. If the family name on the outside of the building is not on the list of questions and answers you can move on to the next location or just because you curious look inside anyway.
