Is a mummy put in a sarcophagus or a coffin?
Usually not. A sarcophagus (an ancient Greek word meaning "flesh eating limestone") is a funeral receptacle for a corpse. It is most commonly made of stone and oftentimes has carvings on the outside. In most cases it is placed above ground so that the outer ornaments and inscriptions can be seen. Typically, a sarcophagus is larger than a normal casket, for which reason a casket (if it is not too big) can be put in a sarcophagus, but rarely a casket in a sarcophagus. There might be exceptions, though: it might be possible to place a small sarcophagus for a child in a casket for an adult. If the question isn't meant in the literal sense of the word, one could also point out that there are caskets which - somewhat incorrectly - are called Sarcophagi. In the US for example. the National Casket company of Boston manufactured in the 20th century a cast bronze casket called "Sarcophagus". A somewhat modified new version of this luxury design is currently produced by the York-Matthews company under the type designation "Pharaoh Sarcophagus". These are by far the most expensive caskets available and with some 1200 lbs they also approach the enormous weight of stone sarcophagi.
