A tomb is a burial place, such as a vault. It can also be a monument to the dead. A Mausoleum is an large elaborate tomb. So there is not much difference except one is more grand than the other.

A mausoleum is a large, above-ground structure typically housing the remains of multiple individuals, while a tomb is a smaller, underground chamber or structure that often holds the remains of a single person or a small group. Mausoleums are often grand and ornate, whereas tombs can vary in size and style.
