Coffin conveying refers to the act of moving a coffin from one location to another. This process is a crucial part of funeral arrangements and can involve various methods and considerations. The most common scenario for coffin conveying is the transportation from a funeral home to a place of burial or cremation. This is typically done using a hearse, a specialized vehicle designed for this purpose.

Beyond the immediate transportation to the final resting place, coffin conveying can also occur within a funeral home, for example, from a preparation room to a viewing area, or from the viewing area to the hearse. In some traditions or for specific ceremonies, the coffin may be carried by pallbearers, a group of individuals who bear the weight and responsibility of moving the coffin by hand, often to a church, crematorium, or grave.

The method of conveying a coffin is often dictated by cultural customs, religious practices, and the wishes of the deceased or their family. Factors such as the terrain, the distance, and the number of attendees can influence whether a hearse is used, pallbearers are employed, or other specialized equipment is utilized. The respectful and dignified handling of the coffin throughout this conveying process is paramount.
