Imperial Crypt - Future Entombments

Future Entombments

A specific place remaining in the Crypt Chapel is reserved for Archduchess Yolande (1923 - ), wife (1950) of Archduke Carl Ludwig148. There is room for two others along the east wall.

Any other entombments would most easily be located along the south wall in the New Vault. There is also room in the Tuscan Vault, but that would not follow the generally-chronological arrangement of the tombs.

Cremated remains can be accommodated within the piers in the corners of Ferdinand's Vault.

Since 1971 members of the family who die during the exile (e.g. Archduke Rudolf (1919–2010)) are mostly entombed in the crypt of the Loretto Chapel of the Benedictine Monastery at Muri, Switzerland, which was founded in 1027 by Count Radebot von Habsburg.

Famous quotes containing the word future:

    I imagine, on the benches of an assembly, the most intrepid of thinkers, a brilliant mind, one of those men who, when they ascend the tribune, feel it beneath them like the tripod of the oracle, suddenly grow in stature and become colossal, surpass by a head the massive appearances that mask reality, and see clearly the future over the high, frowning wall of the present.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
