what is the different meaning between grave and tomb? hope someone can explain to me in details and give me some sentence for reference, thanks

Question

Answer

A tomb is a structure above ground, and a grave is below ground. The body would be placed in a coffin or casket and then put into a tomb or grave.

Answer

"What is the difference between...?"

The word "grave" suggests "to dig" (think of "engrave"), so graves are under the ground. Any hole in the ground can be a grave.

A tomb is a structure which can be above ground or below it (the original word suggests that it's visible and above ground).
