There are just 28 bodies buried inside the Vanderbilt Mausoleum. The last burial was that of the famous horseman Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, in November of 1999. However, there are 30 sealed burial niches with names on them.....one Vanderbilt was lost in the sinking of the Lusitania, and another was lost in a mountaineering accident. Their remains were never recovered, but burial niches are dedicated to them in memoriam.
William Henry Vanderbilt set the rules for burial in the mausoleum. Only his male descendants and their wives qualify. as well as their male children the their wives. Unmarried daughters of those males also qualify. The Commodore (Cornelius) and his wives, and his parents are also among the buried. Gloria Vanderbilt does not qualify because she married (4 times). Her last husband, Wyatt Cooper is buried elsewhere. Her son Carter is buried in the Vanderbilt Cemetery, near the mausoleum, but not inside it. Anderson Cooper does not qualify for the mausoleum.
There are no seats in the nave of the mausoleum. The floor panels are made of Indiana limestone and can be moved to accommodate burials under the floor. The mausoleum contains 72 burial niches, 36 on either side of the nave, all behind bronze gates on each side of the nave.
The glass skylights in the cupolas were sealed off because attempts were made to enter the nave area through them. The glass panels were 6 inches thick. I have never been able to fine any documented reports that any burial niche was violated. But I might be wrong about that. Entry was attempted many time through the front gates, causing damage. A concrete pad was poured over the roof to prevent entry by digging in tr rough the rooftop.
The nearby tomb is the Sloane tomb. Sloane married one of William Henry's daughters.....look it up. When Sloane died, his tomb was not finished. He was temporarily stored inside the Vanderbilt mausoleum and then relocated into the Sloane tomb. Contrary to weird rumors, there is NO tunnel between the Vanderbilt mausoleum and the Sloane tomb.
There are Shepherds buried(through marriage) nearby in the Vanderbilt cemetery, not the mausoleum.
I can't verify any suicides at the mausoleum. The girl who was crushed died when the main entrance archway gate fell from its hinges while she was climbing it. It is a massive piece of wrought metal.....bronze, I believe.
Many people who qualified for burial in the mausoleum opted out. Each story is different. I assume there are many more living today who qualify, but I just cannot do that research. Certainly Alfred Vanderbilt and his son (and their wives)qualify.
More facts are welcome......Peace.
