Oakridge Abbey stands alone among the monumental structures which, through the centuries, have been created as final resting places for loved ones gone before.  It has no  counterpart either in the old world or the new, being the only compartment mausoleum built on the cruciform plan.  Those who have traveled far and are familiar with the finest mauseleums of the world accord to OAKRIDGE ABBEY  the premier place.

The Abbey is an architectural achievenent of the first magnitude, distinguished by a serenity and beauty befitting a noble shrine.  Standing among the oaks of Oakridge, surmounting sweeping terraces of green which seem to lift it to majestic height, it is in very truth a poem in marble and bronze.

Wide marble steps lead to the columned entrance, whose massive doors of solid bronze are works of art. One enters an impressive vestibule beyond which is a Chapel whose beauty commands unbounded admiration. The Chapel is a symphony in sacred architecture, its splendid pillars and soaring arches blending with the beauty of masterpiece mosaics in windows and art glass ceiling, through which soft light streams down on floors of Italian marble.  Forming a background for the exquisite solid marble altar is a lovely figure in heroic size, "The Lady of Eternity", marvelously wrought in art glass, the creation of Edgar Miller, the celebrated artist.

On either side of the Chapel, just back of the pillared aisles, are private rooms, each guarded by bronze grilles of superb design, with five burial compartments on each side. An Italian cared marble bench, placed under the art glass window in each room, invites to rest and reverie.

Great aisles leading from the Chapel, and intersecting aisles as well, present new vistas of beauty wherever the eye may rest. The vast building is so arranged that not only the many magnificent private rooms on both floors but the individual compartments along the stately corridors are flooded with the mellow sunlight which streams in through lovely windows of rich art glass.

The Abbey, both the main floor and the chapel floor, is of marble and bronze throughout, and its massive foundations reach to solid rock. It is built for all time; a permanent home where loved one may forever rest in an environment of beauty and of peace.

One must see OAKRIDGE ABBEY to fully appreciate the charm of its surroundings, the nobility and classic beauty of its design and the enduring character of its construction. The Abbey is open to visitors Monday--Saturday between the hours of 9:00 am and 3:30 pm.
