 Sculptural work was done for the mausoleum by Felix de Weldon; reliefs illustrated historic events in which the family participated, and depicted scenes from the lives of Saints Peter, Paul, and Stephen.The structure was guarded by a pair of sleeping lions, and statues inside included depictions of "Faith" and "Charity" as well as a copy of the "Bruges Madonna" of Michaelangelo and life-sized statues of Remey's parents and wife.Also inside was a massive marble sarcophagus, transported from Lisbon, for Remey himself.
