Daily Ancestortumulatus
Tumulatus is Latin for buried or entombed; tumulatus est means he was buried and tumulata est means she was.
Tumulatus comes from tumulo, to cover with a mound, to bury, which is itself from tumulus, a mound or grave. It means the same as sepultus.
The BYU list of burial phrases gives both sepultus est and tumulatus est for was buried. The date beside it is the burial date, not the date of death, which the entry may give separately.
