What is the name of an empty tomb erected in honour of a person whose remains are elsewhere?
columbarium
cenotaph
ossuary
kurgan
Although the vast majority of cenotaphs honour individuals, many noted cenotaphs are instead dedicated to the memories of groups of individuals, such as the lost soldiers of a country or of an empire.
