Girod
Street Cemetery
Reinterments
Hope Mausoleum and
Alfortish Enterprises each bid to relocate those buried in Girod Street
Cemetery. Hope Mausoleum significantly underbid Alfortish Enterprises and
won the job. Eventually many family members of those relocated from the
Girod Street Cemetery purchased crypts in Hope Mausoleum.
Many of the remains
are in containers stored in a 3 foot high crawl space under the floor of the
mausoleum. These are the memorials in Hope Mausoleum in honor of those
relocated from the Girod Street Cemetery:
