Peacefield Mausoleum
Well on its way to being one of the largest community mausoleums in the state of Florida, when completed Peacefield Mausoleum will encompass 16 mausoleum buildings surrounding two landscaped atriums with the beautiful Peacefield Chapel at its center. Today, the first two phases have been completed, providing thousands of burial spaces nestled among the two atriums and the two-story, open-air Peacefield Chapel.
Warm brick and wood accents complement the rich marble interior walls. Magnificent stained-glass windows depict spiritual and natural images. In the chapel itself, the wood and glass cathedral ceiling rises nearly 60 feet; the chapel is home to two of the area's largest and most beautiful stained-glass windows, The Glory of Heaven and The Creation.

Update: This mausoleum has been completed. According to a St. Pete Times article, dated Dec. 4, 1992....With more than 10,000 crypts, 3,000 cremation niches, stained-glass windows and a 120-seat chapel arranged on two floors (complete with elevators), Peacefield Mausoleum will dwarf most other local facilities. The more usual size on the west coast of Florida is no more than 1,000 crypts, said Timothy J. Claiborne, president of the Florida Cemetery Association.
