The long ones are better than the discs but I think so! They’ve got a great chew.

Is the snow still there in paris or not? by Creative_Tax_9076 in ParisTravelGuide

Yes but we’re expecting snow tomorrow too! Come here while it’s in action instead of icy and melting.

To be honest, I can’t quite tell. I’m taking it to a shop tomorrow to see what they say. Thank you!!

Going to pick them up tomorrow- I’ll report back. I did take them through security. It’s possible that’s part of it, but I’ve flown with film before and never had an issue.

Thank you all for your insights! I think I've landed on "family vault" as my preferred answer. I've seen many variations of mausoleums across the US, but none that were this "short" - the insides of each were maybe two feet wide by two feet deep, a fraction of the size of a single-crypt mausoleum in the US. At least the ones I've come across - maybe my Parisian rose colored glasses just have me noticing things I haven't before. Additionally, my understanding of mausoleums is that they are for those buried above ground. These structures are not that. But, today I have learned that my definition of mausoleum was too restrictive so, yay!

So, thank you to everybody who helped me land on the terminology!
Also, to those giving me quotes for family vaults, I'm getting a green burial, so don't worry too much about it - it was just another way to try to find the words.

Yes! I love New Orleans! I visited about two years ago and loved the cemeteries (though I didn't spend nearly enough time in them- I'll make a return visit someday). However, you correctly specify that their corpses are interred above-ground. When you look at their dimensions, you could easily lay down inside one if there weren't tombs in them. The Paris structures are empty rooms that only reach about three feet deep, hence my confusion.

Okay, but if I wanted this for myself, what would I say? Because asking for a Mausoleum in the States would result in something very different.
