What is the Meaning & Definition of Tomb

The tomb is a type of relatively small building that is intended to accommodate the deceased once consummated his death and after the wake. The same can be built completely underground, as happens in cemeteries, i.e., rises the ground creating a well of certain dimensions and drawer with the remains of the deceased will be staying in the pit that is. But, also, they can be found graves within a church or at the behest of his crypt.
Notably, the crypt is a type of underground building specially for the burial of deceased persons. Its use was something very common in antiquity by which many churches were high level ground so to build a crypt in which host the deceased under them. Normally, the crypts are arranged in the apse, although they can also be found under the wings or the aisles.
But while churches have been the most common places that were built in the Crypts, also, they are plausible found in cemeteries, cathedrals or private farms, especially in those that are owned by wealthy families and then, whenever a family member dies it is buried in the family crypt.
In the case of the individual tombs, once you proceed to the burial of the remains, the masses are sealed, while the family Crypts, mentioned above, normally have a door to access them whenever it is necessary.
Cemeteries, physical location to which the deceased are carried is also the place in which the graves are grouped. To identify each Tomb, and also to facilitate their location within the cemeteries, tend to be accompanied by a gravestone, a stone rectangular flat is recorded at which an inscription containing the data of the deceased: name, year of birth and death, some symbol of his creed, and in some cases even tend to flaunt family dedications religious quotes or allegorical (epitaphs).
