51 He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, awho himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.
52 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
53 aThen he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.
54 That day was athe Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.
55 And the women awho had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and bthey observed the tomb and how His body was laid.
56 Then they returned and aprepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath baccording to the commandment.

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Luke 23:53:
Luke 23:48-56
The other gospels fill in details regarding which women followed and watched His burial, along with so many other details, but suffice it to say many witnessed His death and burial.
We also know from the other accounts that verse 56 very compactly covers the time from the end of the preparation day for the high holy day, as well as the weekly Sabbath, and the preparation day in between them.
