Detailed Solution

An outside, free-standing structure created as a memorial is called Mausoleum.
A mausoleum is an outside, free-standing structure created as a memorial to enclose the interment area or burial chamber of a deceased person or individuals. A cenotaph is a mausoleum that is empty of the deceased's remains. In a mausoleum, the decomposition process takes place above the earth (note that even if a body is embalmed, it will decompose eventually). As unpleasant as it is to consider, decomposition results in foul scents and leaks of fluids. A mausoleum is a standalone, aboveground structure created to house the remains of a person or people. A crypt is a place of burial designed to house a casket in a chamber made of stone or concrete. And a tomb is a structure where the remains of the dead are kept.
