The figurative device used in the statement "Ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave man" is a **pun**. The word "grave" plays on two meanings: it refers to being serious or somber, and it also refers to a burial place, suggesting that the speaker may be dead by the next day. This dual meaning creates a clever wordplay characteristic of a pun.
