Mausoleum

A mausoleum is a free-standing building constructed as a monument enclosing the burial chamber of a deceased person or people. The structure typically serves both funerary and commemorative purposes, often designed with monumental architecture to symbolize power, prestige, or religious devotion.[1] Unlike a simple tomb, a mausoleum is usually above ground and is intended to be a lasting memorial.
