memorial chapel
Sacred tribute space
A memorial chapel is a small place of worship dedicated to honoring the dead.
Unlike a full church, it typically serves a single purpose—remembrance—and may be found within cemeteries, hospitals, universities, or as standalone structures commemorating a specific person or group: The memorial chapel holds services for fallen soldiers each Veterans Day.
