That says his remains are in said tomb... as shown in your linked photo.
The only reference I can see to a 'cenotaph' are your words ... where do
you get it from?

In what way is it not a cenotaph? It is clearly a structural monument.
It is in memory of a deceased person. Said deceased person is not
entombed there, although his remains are thought to be in an unmarked
grave somewhere nearby. It looks like a tomb, but nobody is entombed
in it.

tomb=cenotaph sounds perfect, if unusual.

is the cenotaph that I was mapping when the question arose. Baron
von Steuben's remains are in an unmarked grave somewhere nearby.
The 'memorial tomb' was erected, contrary to his express wish to
be buried in an unmarked grave, decades after his death. It is
claimed, but by no means certain, that the memorial covers his
remains. He is most certainly not entombed within it.
Not a 'cenotaph'. _Cenotaphs are not tombs_!
A definition of cenotaph is;
a) a structural monument in memory to a deceased person whose body
is elsewhere (so not a tomb)
b) a municipal, civic, or national memorial to those killed in war.
On the LPI data base (for Australia, New South Wales) there are 13
listed 'cenotaphs'.

there's only one memorial:type=cenotaph
btw., those cenotaphs wikipedia has as examples in osm would
rather be historic=monument than memorial I think:
