God's Exclusive Acre
Some extremely wealthy person near St. Louis has built this absolutely massive mausoleum with room for an extended family. Yet no one is interred and no family name appears anywhere on the structure.
Three New Testament quotes have been engraved on the structure including "In my Father's house there are many mansions."
As funerary architecture, it's impressive and fascinating. But as a non-religious, non-wealthy commoner I find this oddly anonymous display of inordinate wealth and conspicuous virtue signaling to be equal parts desperate and creepy.
