OP no one died...(well no one i know or love) went cemetery visiting recently, and got to thinking about terms and words.
Like mausoleum
Middle English, from Latin Mausum, from Greek Mausleion, from Mauslos, Mausolus (died c. 353 b.c.), Persian satrap of Caria whose tomb was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
did you know that? (actually i sort of did, one feature of the empire state building in NYC is stained glass illustrations of the 7 wonders of the world (as they envisioned them in the 1930's) in the lobby of the building. (needless to say, they thought ESB was #8)
