=== Modern mausoleums === [[File:MetCemBrunswigPyramid1.jpg|thumb|Metairie Cemetery, [[New Orleans]]]] With the [[Egyptian Revival]] movement in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, pyramids became more common in funerary architecture. The tomb of [[Quintino Sella]], outside the monumental cemetery of [[Oropa]], is pyramid-shaped.<ref>{{cite web |author=Luisa Bocchietto, Mario Coda and Carlo Gavazzi |title=THE OTHER OROPA: A Guide to the Monumental Cemetery of the Sanctuary |url=http://www.santuariodioropa.it/db/images/pdf/guida_cimitero_monumentale_en.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140517152603/http://www.santuariodioropa.it/db/images/pdf/guida_cimitero_monumentale_en.pdf |archive-date=2014-05-17 |access-date=2013-06-21 }}</ref> This style was popular with [[tycoon]]s in the US. The [[Schoenhofen Pyramid Mausoleum]] (1889) in [[Chicago]] and [[Hunt's Tomb]] (1930) in [[Phoenix, Arizona]] are notable examples. Some people build pyramid tombs for themselves. [[Nicolas Cage]] bought a pyramid tomb for himself in a famed [[New Orleans]] graveyard.<ref>{{cite web |title=Nicolas Cage's Pyramid Tomb |url=https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/nicolas-cage-s-pyramid-tomb |website=Atlasobscura.com |access-date=18 June 2019 |archive-date=12 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190512000322/https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/nicolas-cage-s-pyramid-tomb |url-status=live }}</ref>
