The term is used interchangeably with casket bearer in the modern day. But since you asked, it is a combination of two words- pall -- which is a cloth -- of blanket size, that has religious significance in many liturgical churches. A funeral procession of days gone by would include casket bearers followed by a separate group of people carrying the edges of a pall which would be placed over the casket during a formal religious or fraternal ceremony in a church or at a graveside. As funeral processions have simplified over the decades, and the duty of carrying the casket and the pall were combined, the term pallbearer was born. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the term was first combined as early as 1710. For more information, please see the related link(s) below:
The draping of the pall refers to the practice of placing a cloth, often embellished with symbols of faith, over a casket during a funeral. This act signifies respect for the deceased and serves to honor their life and legacy. The pall also represents the community's shared belief in resurrection and eternal life, creating a solemn and sacred atmosphere during the memorial service. It often reflects the values and traditions of the faith community involved.
The collective nouns are a pall of suspicion or a pall of smoke.

The sacred cloth which covers the casket during the Christian funeral service is a pall.The expression has its origin in the Latin word "pallium", meaning cloak.The use of a pall for covering the coffin began in the Middle Ages; originally the palls had bright colors and featured religious patterns like crosses and other holy symbols. Later more simple black and eventually white palls came in use. The white color, which dominates nowadays, symbolizes the clothes worn at baptism - death being regarded as the birth of man into a new, eternal life and as the Christian's way to resurrection. From a Christian perspective, the fact that one and the same pall is used for all deceased without regard to their social standing should be understood as a symbol of the Christian faith in the equality of all men before God. In the church - before God - the differences of the cheap and expensive, simple and lavish caskets as well as those of rich an poor deceased disappear under the cover of one and the same holy cloth because these differences are without any importance in the eyes of God. The pall is placed upon the casket as soon as it enters the church and it will remain on the coffin during church ceremonies. The pall will be removed either when the casket leaves the church or at the graveside respectively in the crematory just before the final disposition of the casket with the body in it.
The word "catafalque" can have two meanings: - it may be casket bier or a - often rather huge and usually raised - movable platform upon which a casket or the body of a deceased person is be placed when lying in state - it may be a proxy of the original casketed remains: for that purpose, a casket or coffin shaped structure is covered with a pall (cloth) in order to represent the absent original casket and body; for example, after the death of a pope in the Vatican, the catholic cathedral in New York may hold a requiem mass using a catafalque which represents the casketed remains of the deceased pope in Rome.
