In ancient times, coffins were often referred to as "sarcophagi," particularly in ancient Egypt. The term comes from the Greek word meaning "flesh-eating," as some stone sarcophagi were designed to accelerate the decomposition of the body. In other cultures, such as the Romans and Greeks, they might use terms like "tomb" or "grave chest." Overall, the terminology varied across different civilizations and time periods.
