What name can I etch onto the pyramid?
Whatever name you like. If you like seeing your own name, you can add that. If you’d rather memorialize someone you love who has passed, that works too. It can even be a beloved pet who is no longer with you.
Can I sell my patronage to someone else?
Yes. We expect that as construction moves along, interest in Pyramid City will increase a great deal. If you find that you’d rather sell your spot rather than choose the name you want etched on the pyramid, you can do so at whatever price you deem fit.
Why pyramids?
Pyramids are strong and grounded while they reach up toward something bigger. The powerful geometric form that can withstand the elements and feel timeless - both visually and physically.
Traditional cemeteries make use of repeating patterns that gravestones can create on a landscape, like you’d see at a traditional cemetery such as the Fort Rosecrans Cemetery. This kind of undulating repetition has both a beauty and a meditative solidarity that is especially conducive to a memorial visit.
The pyramid shape felt like it could create a similarly immersive experience while coming from a broad enough history to be appealing to many kinds of people as a possible memorial location.
Why only 2,500?
Pyramid City is just one idea for reimagining the cemetery experience. We’re interested in other people bringing to life their own visions for distinctive memorials, each with its own personality, appearance, and approach. The future is (hopefully) one where memorials are as varied and unique as people are.
Can I put something in the pyramid?
Yes. Many of the pyramids will be built to hold sustainable, cremated remains or a small object / symbol of remembrance.
Can I bury a coffin or an un-cremated body in my pyramid?
No.
I love this and want to be a part of it, but just not yet.
No worries at all. This presale is just our initial offering. We’ll be back. If you want to keep up to date, follow us on Instagram or join our mailing list.
