tombed
Laid in stone
Tombed means placed in a tomb or enclosed as if in a tomb.
The word appears almost exclusively in literary or poetic contexts: The pharaoh was tombed with his treasures.
Figuratively, it suggests something sealed away or buried: memories tombed in the past.
The word is rare; entombed is far more common.
