In early 2004, Carrier Mausoleums Construction Inc. completed the Padre Pio Mausoleum at Westminster Cemetery in North York.

The unique 1,164-crypt addition involved the conversion of an older exterior mausoleum to a modern, enclosed, heated and air-conditioned building. A second storey was added to the early 1970’s structure, as well as the enclosure of existing exterior crypts on the first floor to provide these crypt families with upgrades such as new carpeting, interior glass and marble front niches as well as a grand entrance with a bright new glass façade.

The Mediterranean pinkish marble with sandblasted marble accent trims, the addition of numerous private family rooms and community crypt spaces on the ground floor achieved the desired transition from old architecture to new modern day trends design. The addition offered an enticing alternative for both heritage families and new crypt families for years to come.
