Burial

Whether the deceased is buried in a cemetery plot or places in a crypt, the burial ground is where they are brought to their final resting place.

Actually, the funeral niche may be a glassed-in structure or not that can house one or several funeral urns. It can be in a mausoleum where caskets and wall-niche tombs are also kept.

Il faut savoir que la niche funéraire est un emplacement vitré ou non où l'on peut déposer une ou plusieurs urnes funéraires. L'emplacement aménagé dans un mausolée où l'on peut déposer un cercueil est un enfeu.

The columbarium is a building generally consisting of niches that house several funeral urns.
