1. Crypts Marker
The usage of crypts has waned over the years since they first became popular in the first half of the 19th century and were more common in St. Michaels Cemetery, which is located along Alcaniz Street. The crypt here is the only example in this cemetery.

1. Crypt (Wikipedia).
Excerpt: A crypt is a stone chamber beneath the floor of a church, above ground within a cemeterys mausoleum or a free-standing outdoor memorial tomb.(Submitted on April 30, 2026, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)It typically contains coffins, sarcophagi, or religious relics and sometimes cremation urns. Originally, crypts were typically found below the main apse of a church, such as at the Abbey of Saint-Germain en Auxerre, but were later located beneath chancel, naves and transepts as well. Occasionally churches were raised high to accommodate a crypt at the ground level, such as St Michael's Church in Hildesheim, Germany.Photographed by Cosmos Mariner, June 19, 20252. Crypts Marker & Mary A. Weaver CryptIn more modern terms, a crypt is most often a stone chambered burial vault used to store the deceased. Crypts are usually found in cemeteries and under public religious buildings, such as churches or cathedrals, but are also occasionally found beneath mausoleums or chapels on personal estates. Wealthy or prestigious families will often have a 'family crypt' or 'vault', in which all members of the family are interred.
