Portuguese term or phrase: jazigo
I have looked for this and found many examples but nothing seems to fit what I really want.
When you're in the cemetery, you have the grave or tomb (where people are buried) and you also have these small houses where coffins are placed instead of being buried. What do you call that?

Every word that I search in connection with Jazigo seems to point to the burial site rather than those houses.

Thanks in advance for your help!

The original plan was for Diana to be buried in the Spencer family vault at the local church in nearby Great Brington, but Lord Spencer said that he was concerned about public safety and security and the onslaught of visitors that might overwhelm Great Brington. He decided that Diana would be buried where her grave could be easily cared for and visited in privacy by William, Harry, and other Spencer relatives.
