no one.
"The "Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?" joke stems from a 1950s game show; it was supposed to be an easy question, but the contestants thought it was a trap and got it wrong. So for the last time, who is buried there? Well, no one actually. Mr. and Mrs. Grant are not buried. Their sarcophagi lie above ground."

The tomb(not buried in the ground) contains the bodies of Grant and his wife---- I really loved history class!
Also: A riddle relating to Grant's Tomb, popularized by Groucho Marx on his game show You Bet Your Life, is "Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?" Though the proper answer is "nobody"—Grant and his wife are entombed, not buried—Groucho would usually accept "Grant". Groucho would ask this question to contestants to ensure that they won something on his show; a similar question was, "How many bullets are there in a six-shooter?"

oddly enough Grant's tomb up on riverside Dr. was an embarrassment for years, graffiti all over the place, homeless, crackheads, a real mess...much better now...and Grant is buried there.

There is nobody burried in Grant's Tomb... I'm 67 and that question has been around longer than I have.
