One-word substitution
One-word substitution, asked very often: a place where dead people are buried is a graveyard or cemetery; a place where dead bodies are burnt a crematorium or cremation ground; a large ancient cemetery a necropolis; a place where dead bodies are kept before burial a mortuary or morgue.
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: मृतकों को दफ़नाने की जगह graveyard या cemetery (कब्रिस्तान); शव जलाने की जगह crematorium या cremation ground (श्मशान); बड़ा प्राचीन कब्रिस्तान necropolis; दफ़नाने से पहले शव रखने की जगह mortuary या morgue।
