A comb grave is a type of grave that features two slabs of rock, sandstone or sheet metal that form an empty inverted v-shape, or comb, over the length of the grave.[1] They are also referred to as tent graves, as the slabs of rock resemble a camping tent.[2][3] Comb graves may also have triangular end stones or iron rods to support the slabs, and sometimes do not have a headstone nor an inscription.[4]
