What does Matthew 27:60 mean?

Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Sanhedrin, has been secretly following Jesus (John 19:38). Now, finding a level of courage, he has asked Pilate for Jesus' body. He wants to help to get Jesus buried before the Sabbath begins at sundown (Matthew 27:57–59). He has been helped in this by a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who also spent time with Jesus (John 19:39–40). Together they wrapped Jesus' body with burial spices.

Now Joseph lays Jesus in his own, new, never used tomb which had been cut out of rock in a garden setting (John 19:41). Joseph and Nicodemus are both wealthy men. A new tomb cut into rock, in a lavish location, would have been quite expensive. Also pricey were the burial spices provided by Nicodemus. This fulfills yet another prophecy about Jesus as the Messiah. Isaiah 53:9 says, "They made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death."

Joseph rolls a great stone over the opening of the tomb to seal it and then goes away for the night.
