tomb=cenotaph sounds perfect, if unusual.

is the cenotaph that I was mapping when the question arose. Baron von
Steuben's remains are in an unmarked grave somewhere nearby. The
'memorial tomb' was erected, contrary to his express wish to be buried
in an unmarked grave, decades after his death. It is claimed, but by
no means certain, that the memorial covers his remains. He is most
certainly not entombed within it.
Not a 'cenotaph'. _Cenotaphs are not tombs_!
A definition of cenotaph is;
a) a structural monument in memory to a deceased person whose body is
elsewhere (so not a tomb)
b) a municipal, civic, or national memorial to those killed in war.
On the LPI data base (for Australia, New South Wales) there are 13
listed 'cenotaphs'.

there's only one memorial:type=cenotaph
btw., those cenotaphs wikipedia has as examples in osm would
rather be historic=monument than memorial I think:
