In the story of Jesus' death and resurrection, he is buried in a tomb that has a stone door, which is "rolled away" after the third day. Would this have been the normal interment of a crucified corpse

IIRC, it was not usual, but they didn’t want hanging corpse decorations for the holiday/festival… and they were worried one might steal the body and claim resurrection.
