I never understood the location of Dumbledore's tomb. I thought it was at Hogwarts but the fact that Voldemort took the Elder Wand says differently. Where is his tomb? I would like an answer from the books. If that is unknown then the location based in the movie is fine (the in-universe location, not the real-life location).
All my personal Google searches gave me were the location that the scenes were shot in for the movies. So be careful if you Google search it.

It's next to the lake.
They were heading, as Harry saw when he stepped out onto the stone steps from the front doors, toward the lake. The warmth of the sun caressed his face as they followed Professor McGonagall in silence to the place where hundreds of chairs had been set out in rows. An aisle ran down the center of them: There was a marble table standing at the front, all chairs facing it. It was the most beautiful summer’s day. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 30, The White Tomb.
The marble table here, once the ceremony is done, is the actual tomb. The merfolk are seen in attendance, so it's pretty much on the shore.
That would put it on the castle grounds, but well away from the castle itself. Easy enough to come in, take what he wanted, and leave.
