The mausoleums are located in the Northwest corner of the Cemetery. The mausoleums are peaceful and serene, with visitor's benches, shaded alcoves, multiple flower vessels, and our landmark granite etched drawing water feature.

Nassau Knolls Cemetery is now offering crypt porcelain cameos for families that have loved ones entombed in the Evergreen or Harbor of Peace mausoleums. The cameos are available in horizontal and vertical formats and are 3.25" x 4".  You may select a portrait cameo for each person entombed, or you may have one cameo depicting both people.
