Though again, the Etruscans I feel share more with the Greeks then the actual Romans. The Etruscans built tombs for their dead in massive necropolises, or cities of the dead. Actual on reflection it seems almost Egyptian in origin. Since within the tombs there would be massive paintings of the afterlife as well as soft rendered replicas of everything they would need in the after life. They even constructed large decorative sarcophagus for the dead. Though oddly enough the Etruscans practice cremation so there was never a body placed within the large grave chests, or within the tombs from what I can recall. They also viewed life as a party, where marry-making and parties were held with all those that came to the realm of the dead before they did. The Romans had also adopted the practice of the Necropolises but taking a page from the Greeks there was no marry-making in death, it was all gloom and dread, which is reflected in later Etruscan
