The coffin is a funeral box used to keep the corpse for burial or cremating. It can also keep corpses for viewing by placing a glass door on them on display like in the Church of Saint Nicolai in Vejle, Denmark, or the glass-coffin of Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong, which are in Red Square, Moscow and Tiananmen Square, Beijing, respectively. It is made with six sides where the top and bottom lids are placed. It is tapered around the shoulder, or rectangular with four sides.
The word ‘coffin’ is derived from the old French coffin from the Latin cophinus, which means basket, which is the Latinisation of the Greek (kophinos), basket. A coffin is buried directly in the ground while placing it in a burial vault or cremated. Alternatively, it can also be entombed above the ground in a mausoleum, a chapel, or a church. The cloth which is used to cover the coffin is called a pall, while those who carry the coffin are called pallbearers.

Meaning of Coffin Tattoo
Death
Coffins are used to carry or store dead bodies. So, in a genuine sense, we can say that getting a coffin tattoo inked relates to death. Coffin’s tattoo on the visible part of the body symbolizes the fact that death is the ultimate truth in life.
Horror
The place where dead bodies inside a coffin are buried is called a graveyard. Since those dead bodies are not burned or cremated. Instead, they are buried six feet inside the ground. Many believe that dirty souls wander around the night in the graveyard to fulfill their leftover wishes, which they couldn’t fulfill because of several reasons. Those dirty souls look scary and any human going through that area can get the feeling of fearfulness. Hence, we can say that getting a coffin tattoo inked relates to horror.
Rest
In many religions, when a person dies, we say ‘rest in peace.’ It means that the dead body inside the coffin is rested forever. So, genuinely, we can say that getting a coffin tattoo inked on the body means ‘rest.’ ‘Rest’ can also represent the peaceful sleep of the dead body when a soul leaves the worldly body and goes towards heaven or hell depending on the deeds of the person.
