Historical Collectible Art Print

A tomb is a place of burial for the remains of the dead. This is usually either a small building, with walls, a roof, and (if it is to be used for more than one corpse) a door; or a burial vault, partly or wholly in the ground (except for its entrance). They may be located in a cemetery or, in a Christian context, inside a church proper, or in its crypt. Single tombs may be permanently sealed. Those for families (or other groups) have doors or slab entrances for access whenever needed. Monuments within churches or tomb-style chests in churchyards do not usually contain the actual body and should not be referred to as 'tombs'.
