Coffins

In the US, many caskets have colored interiors. The former Marsellus Casket Company - famous maker of hardwood caskets - pioneered the use of colored interiors already in the 1920s.

They are not necessaily evil, just unpleasant as they symbolize death

A nine letter word meaning a place where coffins are stored could be mausoleum.

The expression "a pauper's casket" can relate to a low cost casket provided by the government for indigent people.

Sometimes a reusable casket is meant: in former times indigent dead people were taken to the cemetery in a casket with a bottom which could be opened up; then, at the graveside the shrouded corpse was left in the grave while the casket was reused again.

The softwood species most often used in the US for wooden caskets is poplar.

The terminology of softwood and hardwood is somewhat misleading, as hardwoods are not necessarily always hard, and softwoods are not necessarily always soft. The wood from conifers (needle or cone bearing trees) is called softwood, the wood from broad-leaved trees is called hardwood. Other softwoods used in caskets are pine, spruce, red cypress, cedar and redwood.p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120%; }a:link { }

p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120%; }a:link { , as hardwoods are not necessarily hard, and softwoods are not necessarily soft. The well-known balsa (a hardwood) is actually softer than any commercial softwood. Conversely, some softwood is harder than most hardwoods.

Because when people would be buried they would bury them only 3ft. so when it would rain the coffins would wash up from the ground. So that is why they bury people 6ft. deep.

An urn like small coffin in which the viscera of a deceaded - most often his heart - are placed. In the Middle Ages for example, oftentimes the heart of a king was buried in a different location than the rest of his body.

Over the time, caskets have become bigger because people have become taller and heavier. Because of that, the standard size of American caskets varies slightly:

- outside dimensions:

the length varies between 80" and 83"

the width varies between 26" and 29"

the height varies between 20" and 24"

- inside dimensions:

the length varies between 77" and 79"

the width varies between 23" and 24"

Oversize casket are somewhat longer and much wider; they also have a

considerably higher weight capacity.

If you were a king you got buried in more than slaves, King Tut got buried in 8 along with 1,450 pairs of underwear.

The dream suggests that some aspect of your life is coming to an end. Your mind may associate this area of your life with the deceased person. The dream is not predicting any actual death, but represents the end of one phase and the beginning of something new in your life.

The coffins are stacked at different levels- no more damage than say a pile of books.

If you mean the random event, you have to look at the grave-stones then look inside the coffins to see if they match, if they do, place the coffin inside that gravestone.

The majority of metal caskets are protective caskets, meaning that they use some type of sealing mechanism, usually a natural rubber gasket, to prevent the entrance of air or moisture into the casket

The reverse is also true. Fluids and decomposition gasses are not able to be vented out of the casket, thus sealing it all in. There is no drying out, and the remains stay immersed in their own decomposition fluids for years and years until the bottom corrodes out and eventually leaks. Hardly "protective", more like "destructive."

In a hearse, also called a funeral coach.

The process of making a mummy required the removal of vital organs, stuffing the body with dried herbs and other things, letting it dry and then wrapping it. It was placed in a coffin within a coffin. All of this preserves the body and makes it last longer through time.

The process of mummification involves drying the body so mold and bacteria will not cause it to decompose. That is whey Egyptian mummies last in their coffins and do not turn to dust.

It is called a church truck.

to be translated to the after life

Not the legs are broken, but the rigor mortis of the legs. The knees might be lifted somewhat if necessary.

Probably because steel caskets (or caskets made of other metals) can be sealed hermetically, meaning that they can be made airtight and watertight, which is requested for long distance shipments of remains.

Only those which have a hermetical seal, for example caskets with a gasket seal.

But: even the best seal does not hold forever.

To ensure the vessel was available for the spirit to mould itself after in the afterlife. The god of Mumification, Anubis, was called upon in these rituals to help preserve the body, and to keep the ritual jars, containing the Heart and other organs, safe and guarded so they could be used in the final judgement.
