Sepulchral monuments

Sepulchral monuments are structures built to honor and remember the dead. They can be tombs, mausoleums, funerary statues, or grave markers, designed to mark a burial site and commemorate the individual or group. These monuments often reflect cultural, religious, or personal significance, showcasing craftsmanship and symbolic elements.
