	Mortuary house - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In archaeology and anthropology a mortuary house is any purpose-built structure, often resembling a normal dwelling in many ways, in which a dead body is buried.
		Following the laying to rest of the deceased, who is often surrounded with grave goods, an earthwork called a kurgan in Russian or barrow in English is raised over the house and the structure left sealed.
		Mortuary houses differ from mortuary enclosures in size, design and in the latter's capacity for multiple burials.

	Mortuary enclosure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mortuary enclosure is a term given in archaeology and anthropology to an area, surrounded by a wood, stone or earthwork barrier, in which dead bodies are placed for excarnation and to await secondary and/or collective burial.
		There are some parallels with mortuary houses although the two are the products of different cultural practices and traditions regarding the treatment of the dead.
		The mortuary enclosures of the British Neolithic were sub-rectangular banks with external ditches and raised platforms of stone or wood within them, thought to be used for the exposure of corpses prior to burial elsewhere.

	Hull House Mortuary
		Location: Hull House Mortuary is located at the top of a hill at the end of Hull Road between Salem, Oregon, and the small community of Mathisville across the county line in Polk County not far from the Willamette River.
		Old Hull House would be the best place for a small band of teenagers to unleash their full teenage fury and inflict damage on property already falling down around them.
		Owner of one of the first cemeteries, he ended up razing the location of his mortuary in town to increase the size of his cemetery and then rebuilding it on the hill with a far larger mansion attached to it so that he and his family could look down upon the city.

	Southern Graveshelters and English Lych-gates: The Search for Culture Trait Origins
		Considering the high quality of wood building techniques in folk housing of the early and mid-19th century, the rapid decline in quality of construction is puzzling.
		Considering the availability of requisite skills and the special symbolic nature of the structure, it is puzzling that graveshelters were apparently built hastily, commonly of green wood, and that little effort was made to systematically maintain the structures beyond occasionally replacing the roof.
		The goal, through disruption of their mortuary practices among other ploys, "was to reduce Indians from cultural and political autonomy to dependence upon European institutions and authority" (1981: 112).

	The Restoration of Arlington House
		Arlington National Cemetery has remained with the War Department, but the old mansion house with the dependent buildings immediately adjacent to it, standing on the Virginia hills, overlooking the Potomac and the National Capital and surrounded by the cemetery grounds, is now under the Interior Department’s control.
		The fine old stable, across the ravine among the trees to the west, in architectural style and materials, and with classic portico similar to the house, was burned some twenty odd years ago and replaced by an entirely unlike structure.
		It now houses the offices of the cemetery, which by this arrangement are now happily removed from the mansion.

		At all events the corpse was left for a certain period, called the period of mourning, either in the abandoned house where the death occurred, or in a shelter especially built for the purpose; and, during the mourning period, offerings of food and drink were set before the dead, and ceremonies performed without the house.
		The custom of deserting the house in which a death took place would accord with the theory of a nomadic ancestry for the Japanese people: it was a practice totally incompatible with a settled civilization like that of the early Greeks and Romans, whose customs in regard to burial presuppose small landholdings in permanent occupation.
		The number of mortuary tablets in a household shrine does not generally exceed five or six,--only grandparents and parents and the recently dead being thus represented; but the name of remoter ancestors are inscribed upon scrolls, which are kept in the Butsudan or the mitamaya.

		Archaeologically, the two halves of the long house are often distinguished by the existence of a hearth in the living quarters, a central drain, and sometimes stalls in the byre.
		There is sometimes an overlap between the definitions of mortuary house and mortuary enclosure, but very different ritual ideas may be involved.
		A mortuary house often contains only a single corpse, and serves primarily as a sepulcher rather than as a charnel house in which bodies were accumulated.

	The Respect To Bill Reid Pole
		Since their installation in the 1960s, the two Haida houses and several poles which make up the complex have given more than a million visitors from around the world a deep appreciation of the skill of Northwest Coast artists and the power and beauty of their art and architecture.

		Most of the antiquities on the site are probably of the early centuries after their arrival- a stone-roofed mortuary house (some say this was St. Patrick's Confessional but it not old enough for that), two fragments of wall, an Anglo-Norman coffin lid and various carved stones and cross-slabs.
		Our house was typical of many of the farmhouses around the countryside at that time and had a large open coal fireplace in the kitchen with a metal covered hob on each side.
		House lighting was supplied by an oil lamp which had two wicks and burned paraffin oil.
