When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Do you have pictures or further descriptions? You might want to look at this article, which mentions "family plot" and "mausoleum crypt", but it looks as though your dealing with historical references.http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142412788732347760...

Charles has provided a very interesting glossary. However, if you have a lingering doubt, I advise you to query the client.
| These particular "mausoleos" are more luxurious than other graves, but not buildings. |
| Problem is that in these "mausoleos" (family-owned), bodies are buried both below and above ground. |

Westminster (family) crypt
Westminster crypts, which are double crypts permitting two entombments, one below floor level and the other above.

Westminster family crypts: Sometimes referred to simply as “Westminster crypts” or “family crypts,” this style of crypt can accommodate as many people as you’d like.

Each crypt has its own marble front and memorialization. Some Level A (floor level) crypts have the "Westminster" option which allows for a first entombment below floor level.

o "Westminster crypts" are a unique design (and rare, especially in the United States) where one entombment is above ground with another below. Also, I would like you to be aware that some mausoleums also have a special, attached columbarium section for the entombment of Cremains in urns.
