'grave of the known' or 'anonymous/communal grave'
In Denmark some people choose to be buried anonymously in the lawn of a cemetery or churchyard with no headstone, tombstone or other marking to identify who is buried where. There are various Danish terms for the same type of grave: fællesgrav, de ukendtes grav/plæne.
