Foam Mausoleum - Halloween Prop

This video walks through the construction of a Halloween mausoleum prop built primarily from foam materials and basic lumber framing.

It is a solid example of how common construction materials can be repurposed to create impressive graveyard set pieces for home haunts or professional attractions.
