That looks wonderful! I like how you used blocks instead of cutting out mortar lines around each stone. What tools did you use to distress the blocks and what kind of paint/sealer did you use? Please do share when you put the whole mausoleum together!

Thanks the blocks pretty much distress when they are cut with a handsaw I added the cracks and holes. The paint was sprayed on latex black from walmart with a sprayer then I skim coated drylok over it letting the black still show through a bit.

Ive been working on this all year when i get time. Thought it might help with ideas for other haunters.
Thanks for the post. I have used blocks of foam to create walls for my mausoleums as well, but have always backed them in traditional stage frames with a sheet of something supporting them, be it plywood or political signs. I notice that your approach provides needed support, but leaves spaces between the stones that let light through. I'm thinking that might lead to some very eerie back lighting where light creeps out from the cracks. I'm going to have to give it a try. :)
