Definitely need an altar. The central moment of the mass is communion.
Every old church I've seen has both the altar and pulpit (though some
pulpits are much more ornate stone-carved things, and others are little more
than a stand.
On tombs, these are often on one of the sides of the church in little
alcoves, but I've also seen them in the back, behind the whole pulpit/altar
area. This was in a big cathedral (the one in Cologne). Tombs can also be
in an area apart from the sanctuary (perhaps in a basement?) with a little
prayer area by each and a place to light candles.
