The word Paul used in the 1 Cor. passage is from qaptw which is translated "buried." While I guess that's as good a translation as anything, it has a broad range of meaning, from cremation to last rites (Perseus). So, it seems that there is no contradiction between "buried" and "laid in a tomb."

Thanks bass! So, no conflict then between the two accounts. Another "mystery" solved!
