A grave and a tombstone are related but not the same thing. A grave refers to the actual burial site in the ground where a body is interred. In contrast, a tombstone, also known as a gravestone or headstone, is a marker placed at the grave to commemorate the deceased and often includes their name, dates of birth and death, and sometimes additional inscriptions.
