I don't think «mol» is really the right word either, unless they're actually buried in the ground (or in a wall or the like).<br>
<br>
In paq'batlh, the phrase<br>
<br>
«chalqachlIj rachlu'ta'bogh tutDaq mol'egh betleH»<br>
<br>
is used to mean something like "the bat'leth buried itself in the fortified tower's column".<br>
While this may be modtic usage, it suggests to me that the verb «mol» involves an actual, physical burial, and since it is likely cognate with the noun «mol», I would expect the same of it.<br>

A grand mausoleum such as the Taj Mahal might perhaps be called «nol DuHmor». Not sure about its defenses, though; perhaps it's more of a «nol qach'a'».</blockquote>

<div>Would {nol} be the right noun here? The focus of a mausoleum is less on the funeral ceremony itself, and more on the fact that the person is interred inside.</div>

<div>I also think that {nol} "funeral" is not appropriate. Felix probably meant {mol} "grave".<br>
