Rohirrim graves are grassy mounds. But there is a difference? Or is Tolkien implying that the Rohirrim are nearer to nature (well, they are) than the Gondorians?

Perhaps it also involves the idea that Lorien itself is fading and failling, and her grave lies within a failing, fading place, where timelessness itself is slipping away.
