The Brown's cemetery lot measures 28 feet by 16 feet and every inch is covered with red granite. The son of the Brown family wanted to finalize his memorial while still living and to memorialize his deceased parents who are buried in a traditional manner under their portion of the memorial. His sarcophagi, on the right, will be disassembled upon his death, revealing a formed burial space which goes 54 inches below the floor of the memorial. Once interned, the sarcophagi will be reassembled.
