Abstract: Embodiments relate to a crypt system having a frame used as a skeleton structure upon which a façade is secured. The frame includes vertical and horizontal supports, each equipped with a mechanical interconnecting arrangement that allows the frame to be assembled easily and with close tolerances. The interconnecting arrangement also provides the structural stability and integrity desired for a mausoleum or columbarium, even when the system is free-standing. Each horizontal support has a fluid channel that collects fluid (e.g., gas and/or liquid) and directs it to the vertical support in connection with the horizontal support. Each vertical support has a fluid channel to direct the gas up to a conduit that leads to outside the building that houses the crypt system. The vertical fluid channel also directs liquid down to a drain that captures the liquid.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a niche system having a frame used as a structure upon which a façade (e.g., stone, marble, etc.) is secured. The frame includes uprights, a back panel, and a plurality of shelves. The shelves are attached to the uprights and back panel to form a plurality of niche spaces. The edges of the shelves are angled to provide structural support and rigidity, allowing the niche system to be self-supporting.
