Burial places are an important part of many cultures and religions. Two common burial places are TOMBS and mausolea. TOMBS are typically smaller structures, often made of stone, that are used to house the remains of a single person or family. Mausolea are larger structures, often made of marble or granite, that are used to house the remains of multiple people. Both TOMBS and mausolea are often decorated with sculptures and inscriptions.
