This page is meant to help users categorizing images of graves. The categorization scheme 'Grave (place of interment)' gives documentation for Category: Graves and its sub-categories.

A grave is any repository for the remains of the dead.

There are two basic types of grave: inhumation graves (generally just called 'graves') and tombs.

Used in its more specific sense, the word refers to holes dug into the ground for the burial of bodies.

Empty grave Filled grave Archaeologically excavated grave
     

Stone lined graves, usually in an archaeological context, sometimes for cremations.

Structurally enclosed interment spaces or chambers, of varying sizes. The word is used in a broad sense to encompass a number of such types of places of interment, including mausoleums, prehistoric tombs, sarcophagi, sepulkchres and underground tombs. For details, see the Tombs by type gallery.

See Tombs by type
 


Archaeological burial mounds, can be either a grave or a tomb. For details, see the Tombs by type and Megaliths by type galleries.

See Tombs by type & Megaliths by type
 


As inhumation graves are, by their very nature, beneath the ground, most images of burial graves are actually of the monuments which mark where the grave lies below. The most common type is a gravestone, generally an inscribed upright (sometimes flat) slab of stone. Others include crosses and sculptures, and the less common obelisks, stars, etc. For details, see the Grave marker gallery.

See Grave markers

The main categorization scheme is repeated wholly or partially with its country qualification beneath Graves by country categories, such as Graves in England.

Some graves can be categorized by the rank or otherwise of the person or people within the grave, such as royal graves.
