Mausoleums are buildings or monuments in which the deceased may be buried or entombed. Mausoleums may be located in graveyards or religious locations as churches and cathedrals. They may also be referred to as crypts or burial vaults and can serve as the resting place for multiple people, including entire families.
Mausoleums are frequently used by demons as a lair or hideout, as they are harder to track on cemetery or ground.[1]
History

After betraying the Triad, Cole Turner frequently met with Phoebe Halliwell in the mausoleum his father was laid to rest. Cole vanquished the Demonic Bounty Hunter Krell here after he tracked him and Phoebe helped Cole fake his death.[4] Phoebe later received a premonition there that revealed how Benjamin Turner was killed by his wife Elizabeth.[5] The demon, Sykes, once laid a deadly trap in the mausoleum to create a distraction for Cole, Paige and Piper in order to get to Phoebe.[6]
Cathedral Mausoleum
Prue's grave in the mausoleum.
Prue Halliwell visited the Cathedral mausoleum with the Angel of Death and witnessed the death of Reece Davidson at the hands of the Seekers as a part of learning that she cannot prevent death if it is destined. Piper and Phoebe were standing locked outside the door when it happened.[7]
The funeral of Prue Halliwell is held at the Cathedral.[8] Piper was later taken to the mausoleum where Prue was buried to express her pain and anger over her sister's death after she was turned into a Fury.[9]

The Seer had a Dark Priest dig up a Lazarus Demon that was buried in a mausoleum by a group of witches a few years back to help sabotage the wedding between Phoebe and Cole.[10]
Olivia Callaway's Grave
Paige and Richard in Olivia's grave.
Olivia Callaway's spirit possessed Paige and brought her boyfriend, Richard Montana, to her grave in a mausoleum, where they slowly suffocated from lack of oxygen. Olivia wanted to be with her love forever.
Fortunately, Piper and Phoebe found them with James and Rosaline's help and saved them in time. Paige convinced Olivia to let go of her anger and pain of losing her life at such a young age, and let Richard live his life. By finding the courage to free Richard, Olivia's spirit found peace and left Limbo.[11]
