Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὃ ἐλατόμησεν ἐν τῇ πέτρᾳ
which ˱he˲_hewn in the rock
Matthew implies that Joseph had hired people to cut the tomb in the rock. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “which he had had people cut in the rock”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ἐλατόμησεν ἐν τῇ πέτρᾳ
˱he˲_hewn in the rock
Here Matthew means specifically a burial place that had been cut or chiseled out of rock, most likely into the face of a cliff. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of burial place, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “which had been chiseled into the rock” or “which had been specially prepared”

/having/_rolled /a/_stone great ˱to˲_the door ˱of˲_the tomb
Here Matthew implies that Joseph rolled the large stone to close up the tomb. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb to close it up”
27:59-60 Burial customs were important in Judaism, especially in contrast to the Greeks and Romans, who cremated their dead. Leaving a corpse unburied was the severest form of judgment (Deut 21:22-23; 2 Kgs 9:37; Ps 79:3; Jer 16:4, 6; Ezek 29:5; Rev 11:9). Death was lamented and mourned (Mark 5:38-39); the body was washed (Acts 9:37), anointed (Matt 26:6-13; John 12:3, 7; 19:39), and wrapped in burial cloths (Matt 27:59; see Gen 50:2-3). The body was placed in a tomb (see Matt 23:27) that had been tunneled into a rock or carved into the side of a cave wall. The entrance to a tomb was often closed with a huge stone and sealed to prevent ceremonial uncleanness or robbery.
