ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for casting a plurality of differently configured reinforced concrete modular crypts for use in constructing a substantially monolithic mausoleum edifice. The casting apparatus includes a frame having a plurality of vertically disposed generally U-shaped brackets attached thereto and a plurality of longitudinal members connecting the brackets which support a flexible, shaped sheet metal casting form. The frame is provided with upright sides or end doors, at least one of which is hingedly mounted to the frame. A plurality of arm members attached exteriorly to the casting form engage slots or openings in the hingedly mounted door which is forcibly urged into engagement with the edges of the casting form to enclose the form prior to introduction of a fluent casting material. The casting form is sufficiently rigidized by the U-shaped brackets to support the casting material without deformation, yet sufficiently flexible to permit rapid extraction of the cast element therefrom with no damage to either the form or element. The casting form is shaped to provide at least three tapered side wall cavities having thickened upper portions connected to an upper horizontal slab. One end of each wall cavity communicates with a rear wall cavity to provide a rear wall integrally formed with the side walls and upper slab of a cast module. A plurality of removable inserts are selectively secured to a single casting apparatus and/or casting form so as to provide a number of differently configured interlocking crypt modules which can be used in various combinations to construct a multi-tiered mausoleum structure.
