What is entombment?

Entombment refers to the interment of human remains in an above-ground structure, such as a vault or mausoleum. This practice has been common in many cultures throughout history and is often associated with wealth and prestige. Entombment is often chosen over burial for various reasons, such as climate, religion, or personal preference. It is one of the most expensive options for after-death care, usually costing in the tens of thousands of dollars. Entombment sites can be visited and maintained by family members and loved ones as a form of memorialization.
