History:
In 1958, construction of the first mausoleums was undertaken. That same year, Mrs. Kellim traveled throughout Portugal, Spain and Italy searching for the finest marble for the new mausoleums and their gardens. She finally settled on the firm of Fedele Andreani D'fili of famed Carrara, Italy. Mr. D'fili reputedly owned the oldest and finest quarries in the country. While abroad, Mrs. Kellum also purchased several statues, fountains and an Italian crystal chandelier for use in the new mausoleums. The new structures were an immediate hit. In fact, in the years since, more than 20 mausoleums have been constructed on the grounds, which are also home to more than 20 private mausoleums.
