Grave Dwellers
Grave Dwellers is a term for a particular form of homelessness in Iran, where homeless people avoid cold weather by sleeping in unused graves rather than cardboard boxes in public areas. The phenomenon was first noted in 2016 in a report by the ''Shahrvand'' newspaper, which mentioned about 50 grave dwellers in the cemetery of Nasirabad Shahriar, Tehran, and caused many reactions in social networks and among social celebrities. Some sources claim that, after the report's publication, the homeless people were violently cleared from the cemetery.

Grave
A grave is a location where a dead body (typically that of a human, although sometimes that of an animal) is buried or interred after a funeral. Graves are usually located in special areas set aside for the purpose of burial, such as graveyards or cemeteries. Certain details of a grave, such as the state of the body found within it and any objects found with the body, may provide information for archaeologists about how the body may have lived before its death, including the time period in which it lived and the culture that it had been a part of. In some religions, it is believed that the body must be burned or cremated for the soul to survive; in others, the complete decomposition of the body is considered to be important for the rest of the soul (see bereavement).
