Jesus' tomb was an unused tomb 'borrowed' from a follower of Jesus called Joseph of Arimathea. He was a wealthy member of the Jewish council - the Sanhedrin - wealthy as he had purchased this tomb for himself when his time came to die. Poor people were usually buried in unmarked graves or even in mass graves.
Tombs were usually hewn from the solid rock and were a small square or oblong chamber, not much more than 2-3 metres on each side. In the walls would be shelves or platforms on which the body would lay and other bodies too if the tomb was a family tomb. The body would be wrapped in a cloth wound round the body with a separate cloth for the face. To prevent too much odour seeping from the tomb during the body's decomposition, it would be anointed with spices and ointments such as myrrh. We are told in the gospels that Joseph's tomb was new, and so no other bodies would have been placed in it.
After the funeral, the tomb entrance - small enough that one would have to duck low to get in - was sealed with a large stone so that the body would lay undisturbed during the decomposition process.
We are told in the gospels that the body of Jesus was entombed on the Friday evening before sunset before the Sabbath began. Then, on the Sunday morning following, some of the women who followed Jesus came to the tomb with the intention of anointing the body as this was impossible during the Sabbath Day as no labour of any kind was permitted. We are then told that the tomb was empty and the gospels record that Jesus had risen from the dead, and was seen alive, well and glorified by many eyewitnesses.
