The mural of Faith, Hope and Charity occupies a prominent place in the Chapel. In the Narthex, four of the Lord's parables are vividly portrayed on canvas. There are 27 stained glass panels in this beautiful Chapel depicting the Life of Christ from the nativity through the crucifixion and the resurrection. These unparalleled paintings attest to the dedicated hands and minds that have made Westview Mausoleum the South's most famous shrine. Westview Mausoleum is the largest structure of its kind ever built under one roof. It contains space for 11,444 entombments. In 2005 Westview constructed 360 niches, called The Garden Columbarium, outside the Mausoleum.
