| Tools for this tag |
A building originally built for the purpose of holding funerals, e.g. on a cemetery or next to a crematorium. It typically provides a place to present the deceased, space for the mourners to participate and a facility to give speeches to them.
The tag is particularly useful for such buildings without religious context.
How to map
Draw as an area along the building outline. In cases where it is impossible one may use a node instead.

E.g. a building erected as a chapel would be tagged building=chapel even if it used nowadays also for non-religious ceremonies.
