History
A mausoleum enshrining a high and noble spirit. Here is concentrated the thoughts of ages past. With our long vision, though countless seasons have passed, devout reverence remains unchanged. Visitors shall feel something like nostalgia for a distant past. This too is a form of memorial service. Quietly clasping hands and offering thoughts to the spirit, hearts transcend time and connect across the ages.
