burial plot

Reserved underground space

A burial plot is a designated section of land in a cemetery where a body is interred.

Plots are purchased or reserved in advance, often alongside adjacent plots for family members.

They bought burial plots side by side so they could be together.

The term sometimes appears figuratively for any final resting place.
