family vault
Hereditary burial chamber
A family vault is a burial chamber designed to hold the remains of multiple family members across generations.
These underground or enclosed structures, typically found in cemeteries or beneath churches, allow families to inter their dead together in a single location.
The coffin was carried down into the family vault where three generations already lay.
