I can only 'assume' that this mausoleum is for the son(s) and daughter of the Marcellino family, as the sign above the secured door reads: N. Marcellino, S. Marcellino, (and) A. Passarelli, Family Vault.

As at March, 2016 there was only memorial plaques for: Salvatore Marcellino on the left hand side, and Nestore and Elisabetta Marcellino, on the right hand side. The mausoleum would be about 3.5 m x 3.5 m, and about 3 m high, made of marble slabs, with a simple white cross over the entry door. There are long black marble plaques either side of a brown steel door that has an orthodox cross on it. It stands behind a black, metal 'pool fence'.

The inscriptions are gold leaf covered engraved, with an oval black and white photo for each person interred. The left-hand plaque reads:
Salvatore Marcellino - photo of a gent in a tuxedo
Nato 2-10-1931 A San Giovanni Di Gerace Italia
Morto 15-6-1996 North Ryde Sydney
Lascia nel profondo dolore la mamma moglie
figli con le loro famiglie e nipoti

On the right-hand side black marble plaque are the following two inscriptions:

Nestore Marcellino - photo of a gent in a suit
Nato 27-7-1908 a Gaulonia R. Calabria Italia
Morto 1-2-1991 a Ryde Sydney
Lascia nel profondo dolore la moglie
figli con le loro famiglie e nipoti.

Elisabetta Marcellino - photo of a lady
Nato 8-12-1909 A San Giovanni Di Gerace Italia
Morto 24-7-2001 North Ryde Sydney
Lascia nel profondo dolore
figli con le loro famiglie e nipoti
