The Tombs. A Tomb is a repository for the remains of the dead. The term generally refers to any structurally enclosed interment space or burial chamber, of varying sizes. The word is used in a broad sense to encompass a number of such types of places of interment or, occasionally,
burial, including:
Burial vaults – stone or brick-lined underground spaces for interment (rather than burial), originally
vaulted, often privately owned for specific family groups; usually beneath a religious building such as a
church or in a
churchyard or
cemeteryChurch monuments – within a church (or tomb-style chests in a churchyard) may be places of interment, but this is unusual; they more commonly stand over the
grave or burial vault rather than containing the actual body and are therefore not tombs
Crypts – often, though not always, for interment; similar to burial vaults but usually for more general public intermentMartyrium - final resting place for the remains of a martyr or saint, such as
San Pietro in MontorioMausolea (including ancient pyramids in some countries) – external free-standing structures, above ground, acting as both monument and place of interment, usually for individuals or family groups
Megalithic tombs (including
Chamber tombs) – prehistoric places of interment, often for large communities, constructed of large stones and originally covered with an earthen mound
Sarcophagi – stone containers for bodies or
coffins, often decorated and perhaps part of a monument; these may stand within religious buildings or greater tombs or mausolea
Sepulchres – cavernous, rock-cut or stone-built (often underground) spaces for interment, such as the ; however, it is generally used to refer to similar
Jewish or Christian structures.
Architectural shrines – in
Christianity, an architectural shrine above a
saint's first
place of burial, as opposed to a similar shrine on which stands a
reliquary or
feretory into which the saint's remains have been transferredOther forms of archaeological 'tombs' such as
ship burials
