Mausoleums can often be quite elaborate. Some are famous for their architecture and design, such as the Pantheon. Sitting atop Montagne Sainte-Geneviève in the heart of Paris’ lively Latin Quarter, the Panthéon is a mausoleum for celebrated figures in French and Parisian history, including Victor Hugo, Marie Curie, and Voltaire.

Mausoleums are large, impressive, and often ornate structures found in cemeteries across the United States.

When a loved one dies, it can be challenging to cope with the loss. You may hear others say that your loved one "passed away" and wonder what that means.

While "passed away" is a euphemism for death, many religions believe that a soul passes on into another realm after death. This is where the idea that someone "passed away" comes from.

Let's look at what "passed away" and other euphemisms mean and what to say about the death of a loved one.

Serving Families Since 1920

Guiding you through a time of uncertainty. It is what our family has been doing since 1920. Today, we specialize in cremations with our own exclusively modern cremation center. This allows families to participate in the experience by simply saying goodbye one last time OR assist with the start of the cremation process. We are experts in natural (green) burials having performed many dozens of local green funerals and burials all of which were approved by the Green Burial Council.

We are a privately owned funeral home in North Raleigh owned by 3rd and 4th generation family funeral directors. Born from the knowledge of our paternal great grandfather and grandfather, Renaissance came to exist in 2003 with roots dating back to 1920 in Brooklyn, NY with the creation of Smolenski Funeral Home. In the 1940’s, another family funeral home was opened in Hempstead, NY; and then during the 1950’s, another funeral home in New Hyde Park, NY.
