The stone container of a wooden coffin was called a sarcophagus.
Human life is shaped by destiny
Initially sarcophagus were made of limestone. And they thought it helped in decomposing the flesh. Before great pyramids were made sarcophagus was used.
A tomb; by all accounts pyramids were not necessarily designed or intended to house dead Pharaoh's. The majority of all excavated pharaohs were discovered in simple underground, stone tombs.
Sarcophagus, or sarcophagi in the plural, is the term generally used to describe the final resting place of ancient Egyptian burial ceremonies. They were designed to remain above ground, thus their extremely decorative carvings. At times, some sarcophagi may actually contain several layers of coffins between the outer shell of the sarcophagus and the corpse of the person buried therein. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcophagus
Originally, a sarcophagus is a stone receptacle for human remains. In modern times, the term "sarcophagus" is often used as a synonym for a very expensive casket. Thus, the National Casket Company of Boston manufactured for example a model made of cast bronze which it called the "Sarcophagus".

The stone container of a wooden coffin was called a sarcophagus.
first of all, the correct way to say it is who is in the sarcophagus. The sarcophagus is a coffin or something to put dead (or alive if your a torturer) people in, that was used in ancient Egypt (and sometimes now for a special occasion).
The antonym for sarcophagus is likely "living" or "alive," as a sarcophagus is typically associated with death and burial.
