Tombe pleine terre - L’inhumation en pleine terre est le fait d’enterrer le défunt en creusant un trou dans le sol, le plus souvent dans un cimetière. Comme son nom l’indique, la pleine terre est à même la terre : il y a donc plus d’humidité que dans un caveau [...] 3, record 2, French, - tombe%20en%20pleine%20terre
