Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus
Nicodemus .Answer: Joseph of Arimathea.
It was Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus who buried Jesus. - John 19:38-40
A:The town of Arimathea is known only indirectly, as the home town of Joseph of Arimathea, who provided his own tomb for the burial of Jesus. No other ancient source mentions Arimathea, and all attempts to locate the town have been unsuccessful. If Joseph really had a tomb prepared for himself in Jerusalem, it should have been a town quite close by, and pious proposals suggest that it was located somewhat to the north-west of Jerusalem. Many scholars find reason to doubt the historicity of Joseph of Arimathea. Perhaps the most compelling reason for the ahistoricity of Joseph and even of the town of Arimathea, is that 'Arimathea' could mean 'Best disciple town' in Greek. In Mark's Gospel, all the disciples had deserted Jesus and only Joseph of Arimathea stood by him. Joseph, the 'best disciple', was symbolic of the failure of the twelve disciples but he and Arimathea never really existed.B.Some scholars think Arimathea may be the same as Rama, birth place of Samuel; modern Rentis, 15 miles east of Jafa.

Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. [NKJV]
