coffin (verb) Explanation: Coffin (verb) as in the process of putting the deceased into the coffin. Could include the process of sealing the coffin as well. The previous step is dressing the dead, while the next step is the funeral procession - so it could include the entire process of whatever happens between the two. |

Reference: 将棺木钉封 Reference information: To seal the coffin. See the link below with pictures. Probably it‘s the funeral process as you understand before the coffin is delivered to the cemetry or for cremation. http://life2.min-net.net/case/128/f3.html This link shows the term “收棺” 盛殮 used in a Chinese classical book titled “说岳全传”. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=9D1iAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT548&lpg... http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/说岳全传 Hope you find the above helpful. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2014-12-02 09:10:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Rather than saying "to seal the coffin" which is a detail, I'd use "Prepare the coffin for the dead" as the general description in this case. I'm sure you understand the process. If not the link below on this topic no many people like to talk about has more details. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/feb/16/healthan...
