Tumuli

Tumuli are a fairly rare form of funerary monument in the United States. A tumulus is a large burial mound, and the concept is ancient – you can find them in Europe. In ancient times, they were particularly associated with warriors. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than two in the same cemetery.
This example is in Woodland Cemetery in Cleveland.
