	Tomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tomb is a small building (or "vault") for the remains of the dead, with walls, a roof, and (if it is to be used for more than one corpse) a door.
		It may be partly or wholly in the ground (except for its entrance) in a cemetery, or it may be inside a church proper or in its crypt.
