Yes, you don’t bury people in tombs, you entomb them.

Hiram Ulysses Grant, better known as Ulysses S. Grant, and his wife, are interred in the mausoleum, so yeah, no one is known to be buried there. Given the long history of human occupation, perhaps there’s some remains underneath everything. :^)
