Other information:
A coffin may be buried in the ground directly, placed in a burial
vault or cremated. Alternatively it may be entombed above ground in
a mausoleum, a chapel, a church, or in a loculus in catacombs. Some
countries practice one form almost exclusively, whereas in others
it may depend on the individual cemetery.
A Karo coffin in Northern Sumatra
In part of Sumatra, Indonesia, ancestors are revered and bodies
were often kept in coffins kept alongside the longhouses until a
ritual burial could be performed. The dead are also disinterred for
rituals. Mass burials are also practiced. In northern Sulawesi,
some dead were kept in above ground sarcophagi called waruga until
the practice was banned by the Dutch in the 19th century.
The handles and other ornaments (such as doves, stipple crosses,
crucifix, symbols etc.) that go on the outside of a coffin are
called fittings (sometimes called 'coffin furniture' - not to be
confused with furniture that is coffin shaped) while organising the
inside of the coffin with fabric of some kind is known as "trimming
the coffin".
Cultures that practice burial have widely different styles of
coffin. In Judaism, the coffin must be plain, made of wood and
contain no metal parts or adornments. These coffins use wooden pegs
instead of nails. All Jews are buried in the same plain cloth
shroud from shoulder to knees, regardless of status in life, gender
or age. In China and Japan, coffins made from the scented,
decay-resistant wood of cypress, sugi, thuja and incense-cedar are
in high demand. Certain Aboriginal Australian groups use
intricately decorated tree-bark cylinders sewn with fibre and
sealed with adhesive as coffins. The cylinder is packed with dried
grasses.
Sometimes coffins are constructed to permanently display the
corpse, as in the case of the glass-covered coffin of the
Haraldskær Woman on display in the Church of Saint Nicolai in
Vejle, Denmark or the glass-coffin of Vladimir Lenin which is in
the Red Square in Moscow.
When a coffin is used to transport a deceased person, it can also
be called a pall, a term that also refers to the cloth used to
cover the coffin.
Burial or interment is the ritual act of placing a dead person or
animal, sometimes with objects, into the ground. This is
accomplished by excavating a pit or trench, placing the deceased
and objects in it, and covering it over. Humans have been burying
their dead for at least 100,000 years. Burial is often seen as
indicating respect for the dead. It has been used to prevent the
odor of decay, to give family members closure and prevent them from
witnessing the decomposition of their loved ones, and in many
cultures it has been seen as a necessary step for the deceased to
enter the afterlife or to give back to the cycle of life.
