Abstract: In an above ground crypt structure, a crypt front or cover slab hanging or supporting arrangement allowing easy installation of the crypt covers and designed when used with a plurality of adjacently disposed crypt covers to allow the outer surfaces of the plurality of crypt covers to define a substantially planar surface.

Abstract: A modular crypt system has adjacent columns comprised of substantially "inverted L" shaped modules, each module having substantially planar vertical and horizontal legs joined at ends thereof to define a corner. A corner reinforcement portion is provided on the inside adjacent surfaces of the legs, together with a notch portion on the outer edge of the vertical leg and adjacent the reinforcement portion. A tongue portion is formed at a free end of the module horizontal leg. The tongue portion of one module is supported in notch portions of an adjacent module. A column of stacked vertical end members is provided adjacent one of the modular columns with each vertical end member having a notch portion at a top end which support the tongue portion of adjacent "inverted L" shaped modules. A building roof is principally supported by the modular columns and end members.
