The small structures often found in cemeteries are called mausoleums or tombs. Mausoleums are above-ground burial chambers that can house one or multiple deceased individuals, while tombs typically refer to any burial place, including those that are below ground. Some smaller versions of these structures, often used for a single individual, are referred to as columbariums when they hold cremated remains.
