Talk:Mortuary house

What is the purpose of this article?
The purpose of this article eludes me. The term "mortuary house" is highly uncommon in English. In common parlance, that phrase would describe a mausoleum (about which there is already an extensive article), but in this article it would seem to try to encompass almost every kind of above-ground grave, including barrows, kurgans and even pyramids. And this, despite their lack of resemblance to a "house", and the confusing use of "mortuary" -- a term that in the West refers to a place where bodies are prepared for burial (but never buried within). Given how little it adds to the subject, and how broad and ambiguous the content is, I think that this article should be deleted (preferably by consensus). Bricology (talk) 23:00, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
