But it varies a lot. In the Mosteiro de Alcobaça (Alcobaça Monastery,
central Portugal), the tombs of the king and his mistress are located in the
transept, in central positions. Older churches have usually tombs for dead
noblemen throughout the floor (usually on wings and entrance), but also on
the sides of the apse or in private chapels.

Just fo rthe record, is a chapel just a small church, or does it refer to an
actual part of a larger church?

I believe a chapel can be either a place of private worship which is part of a
larger building, like a castle or manor and it is also a place of private
meditation in a larger church.
