There is currently no really well established tagging, but building=tomb (for non-historic tombs) seems to be a good choice and already has a fair number of uses.

There is the tag cemetery=grave that is already used ~6k times. It is really a basic and quick method to tag a grave. This is not part of a cemetery, it's a standalone tomb.

A grave is a hole dug in the ground where the ground is reinstated after burial, it is not a building.
