The bronze mask from a cavalry sports helmet was supposedly found on the skull of the deceased in a tomb at Nola (now in the British Museum), and an iron mask is said to have come from a tomb at S. Agata de' Goti. For a cavalry sports helmet and (part of?) a mail shirt, there's the Chassenard burial.
For weapons, see the burials at Camelon (spears, sword, shield boss), Lugdunum, Cologne [from 299 = p. 283 of pdf] and Durostorum (swords).
I'm sure there are other examples of weapons and dona militaria from burials, but that's all I can think of at the moment and it certainly wasn't common practice.
