Memorial Mound is a below-ground mausoleum constructed in 1992 by Claude Booth on a 16-acre site at 3500 Dartmouth Avenue in Bessemer.
The floor of the interior of the mound is eight feet below grade, accessed by a wide stairway flanked by fountains. To either side of the chapel area, steel racks were installed with space to stack caskets 8-high. Burial packages included an on-site funeral service, as well as a custom-made video about each person interred, accessible from a public computer terminal.
The business failed and the site has been left unsecured.
