What is a mausoleum?

A practice of burial
A building containing crypts or vaults for entombment
A type of memorial service
A gathering of family and friends after death

The correct answer is: A building containing crypts or vaults for entombment

A mausoleum is specifically defined as a building constructed to house crypts or vaults for the purpose of entombment. These structures serve as a final resting place for individuals and can vary greatly in size, style, and design. Typically, mausoleums are above-ground and can accommodate multiple burial spaces, making them a distinct option for families looking for alternatives to traditional in-ground burials. While the other options relate to the burial process or aspects of funeral services, they do not accurately define what a mausoleum is. The correct choice emphasizes the structural and functional characteristics of mausoleums, highlighting their role in providing a designated space for entombment, which distinguishes them from burial practices, memorial services, or gatherings that focus on honoring the deceased.
