place a coffin in a temporary shelter pending burial Explanation: Its original meaning: place a coffin in a temporary shelter pending burial 俗称丘子。即用砖石将棺木围砌于地上，暂不入土归葬，称为浮厝。有两种情况可做浮厝处理。一是远离故土或身在异国，一时难回故里或难回国奔丧者，可作浮厝暂寄，待条件允许，可运回故里殡葬或奔丧的。是新择茔地，妻先亡者，得将妻棺浮厝于新择茔地地面，待夫故时同时下葬。但浮厝时，一切丧事活动照常规进行。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2006-02-19 20:43:15 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- pending（介词）: 在...期间[中]; 在...之前 Reference: http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:X58_Ylq0AiIJ:www.ywtd.co...
