What does the term "entombment" refer to in funeral practice?

Placing of remains in a crypt or mausoleum
Conducting a memorial service
Preparation of the body for cremation
Burial of remains in the ground

The correct answer is: Placing of remains in a crypt or mausoleum

The term "entombment" specifically refers to the placement of remains in a crypt or mausoleum. This practice involves sealing the deceased in a chamber that is typically above ground, which is a significant distinction from traditional burial methods. Entombment is often chosen for its preservation qualities, providing a controlled environment that can protect the remains from environmental factors. Crypts and mausoleums can also serve as lasting memorials, allowing families to visit and honor their loved ones in a designated space. This option reflects a specific methodology within the broader context of memorial and burial practices, highlighting an important aspect of how different cultures and individuals handle the disposition of remains.
