~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Some people mistakenly believe that a coffin is a tapered hexagonal or octagonal box used for a burial, and that a rectangular coffin ought to be called a "casket" instead. This is the general view taken inside the funeral industry and should be remembered when speaking with a funeral director. Technically however all solid containers for a dead human body are coffins, regardless of shape, the amount of upholstery they contain etc. Receptacles for cremated human ashes (sometimes called cremains) are called urns.
Box: This article is about the receptacle called a box. For other meanings see box (disambiguation).... Burial: Burial, also called interment and (when applied to human burial) inhumation, is the act of placing a person or object into the ground. Usually, this is accomplished by digging a pit or trench, placing the person or object in it, and refilling it with the soil that was dug out of it.... Cremation: Cremation is the practice of disposing of a corpse by burning. This often takes place in a crematorium or crematory. Cremation and burial are the main ways of final disposition of the dead.... Coffin related Images and Photos (experimental) | ~ Table of Content ~
