A lead-lined coffin will likely not float due to the heavy weight of the lead, which increases its overall density. Since lead is much denser than water, the coffin would sink rather than float. Additionally, the construction and materials of the coffin itself can also affect its buoyancy, but the lead lining is the primary factor that would prevent it from floating.
