Which term describes a building or designated area where religious services are conducted?

The term that describes a building or designated area where religious services are conducted is "Chapel." A chapel is typically a smaller place of worship that can be found within larger institutions such as schools, hospitals, or military bases, but it can also stand alone. In various religious traditions, chapels serve as venues for prayer, worship, and ceremonies, making them integral to community religious practices.

In contrast, a columbarium is a structure designed for the permanent storage of urns containing cremated remains, which does not serve as a space for conducting religious services. A celebrant refers to someone who performs the ceremonies (like a priest or minister) and is not a physical space. Chevrah kadisha is a Hebrew term that translates to "holy society" and specifically refers to a group that attends to the needs of the deceased in Jewish tradition, not a place of worship.
