Khnumhotep II is buried in Beni Hasan in the rock-cut Tomb 3 (BH3), one of the most notable of the whole necropolis.
In ancient times, the tomb would have been approached via a path that was distinguishable by dark brown boulders on either side; the path extended from the open outer court down the hill to the edge of the cultivated land.

The tomb is fronted by a columned portico and a small courtyard; the courtyard would have been surrounded by mud-brick walls.
The small columned portico is on the west side of the courtyard, directly in front of the tomb entrance.
The ceiling of the portico is curved similar to the shape of a segmented barrel.
The rock around the doorway leading inside the tomb to the chapel was smoothed and flattened, on which a fourteen line inscription is giving the list of the festal days for the services of funeral offerings, called percheru, along with the name and titles of Khnumhotep II.
The floor of the main chamber (also referred to as the chapel) is sunk into the ground below the level of the open outer court and is descended into by three steps.
The chapel is the main chamber cut straight back into the cliff almost symmetrical with 4 columns and two large shafts (that lead to burial chambers) are cut into the floor.
These four main columns support a ceiling that is divided by three segmented barrel shapes.
These vaults are painted in a pattern that may be referencing a tent.
The only light for this chamber would have come from the doorway to the portico and originally a door, between the portico and the chamber, could have been used to close the tomb to the outdoor elements.
Percy Newberry notes that the only remain from the inward swinging door is the pivot-hole.
On the doorjambs are prayers to Osiris and Anubis above a seated Khnumhotep II who is facing inward.
At the back of this main room (east wall) is a small rectangular shine approached by a step about 13 centimetres (5.1 in) high.
Newberry mentions that from his survey of the tomb there was a statue here of a seated Khnumhotep II, but the entire statue had been cut away and only a portion of the seat remains.


On the wall are also depicted Khnumhotep's most notable officials and employees at his local court, which somewhat resemble a downscaled version of the royal court with a local treasurer and many stewards and overseers.

In the main chamber there is an autobiography of the deceased; it begins to the left of the entrance to the shrine and runs counterclockwise around the walls of the main chamber, ending to the right of the doorway leading to the shrine.
The main types of information included are about the actions Khnumhotep II performed during his lifetime, his family and their lives, as well as the close relationship of his family to the royal house, Khnumhotep's excellent character, and his request to visitors that offerings are made to him.

On the west wall of the chamber are scenes showing mainly the preparations for the funeral and the resurrection of the deceased.
This is exemplified by the boat voyages making a connection between Khnumhotep II and the god Osiris.
The orientation of the boats within the tomb literally has them travel south to Abydos (right of the entrance) and north to return (left of the entrance).
The wall collectively ensures the tomb owner of rebirth in the afterlife where he will be sustained through cult activities.

On the eastern end of the north wall there is a large-scale standing figure of Khnumhotep II receiving offerings primarily of several types of animals and birds.
