Cat,

My grandmother is buried in a vault at Hope Mausoleum on Canal St. When they
opened the vault to bury my aunt (1949) they found the coffin intact and my
grandmother (died 1944)was petrified. They said that no one else could be
buried there. So they closed it up for good, never to be opened again.
