Coffined

There is no mortuaray in Plymouth for coffined bodies awaiting burial.

As the ground became frozen more solidly during February, the coffined bodies could no longer be promptly buried.

In my understanding, the desire for “the smile on the coffined face,” is the habitual yearning of the person to identify him or herself with an image, with a form.

I observe, likewise, that in old tables of burial fees, a distinction of payment is made for coffined funerals and uncoffined funerals.

Adults were more likely to have had a coffined burial with evidence for 13 coffined burials out of 97 individuals (13%), four of these from within the nave of the church.

Coffined graves contained a burial within a wooden coffin or recptacle, and having such a grave would indicate additional expense and therefore suggest higher status.

What dead memories and coffined hopes was she bringing out to the dim light of her solitary candle?

My heart is coffined, and I shall close the lid and bid it an eternal farewell!
