The kanji 葬 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字). The semantic component is 𠃬 (also written as 𦰰) which depicts a person, and shows the meaning of a grave or cemetery, while the phonetic component is 𤘠 (pronounced as ゾウ in older pronunciations) which gives the sound. The whole character therefore suggests the act of burying a person in a grave.
