gravehouses (funerary structures, ceremonial structures, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Small, house-like structures built over graves, usually comprising a shed or ramada, which is a roof with comer posts supporting it. Examples are found in the American south, in Native American cultures, and in certain places in Europe; roof-shaped constructions made of wood and placed fresh graves seem to date from the Bronze Age in Europe (ca. 2000-800 BCE). For houselike structures intended as dwellings for spirits, use "spirit houses (religious structures)." For freestanding structures or rooms near graves for the benefit of mourners, prefer "funeral chaples." For buildings, often grand but sometimes smaller, that permanently house the body of the deceased, use "mausoleums."

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 建於墓穴上的小型房屋狀結構。通常包括一個棚子或是有柱子支撐著屋頂的華美達(ramada)。實例發現於美國南部、美洲原住民文化以及歐洲的某些地方;而木製的屋頂型構造及最初安置的墓穴,似乎可追溯至歐洲青銅器時代(約西元前2000年至800年)。作為靈魂住所的房屋型結構,請使用「靈屋(宗教結構物)」。於墓穴附近以服務哀悼者的獨立結構或房間,使用「殯儀館禮拜堂」較合適。關於亡者軀體的永恆住所,多為宏偉但有時稍小型,請使用「陵寢」。  
Dutch ..... Kleine bouwconstructies in de vorm van huisjes die op een graf zijn geplaatst. 
Spanish ..... Estructura pequeña, en forma de casa, construida sobre tumbas.
