gravlåda

Gravlåda, also known as a grave box or coffin, is a container used for the burial of human remains. It is typically made of wood, metal, or other durable materials, and is designed to protect the body during the burial process and to preserve it for future generations. The design and materials used for a gravlåda can vary widely depending on cultural, religious, and personal preferences.

In many cultures, the gravlåda is an important part of the funeral ritual, often being placed in a specific location within the cemetery or crematorium. It may be adorned with personal items, photographs, or other mementos to honor the deceased. The choice of gravlåda can also reflect the deceased's personal style or the family's cultural heritage.

In some cultures, the gravlåda is not used at all, and the body is buried directly in the ground or cremated without a container. However, in many societies, the gravlåda serves as a tangible reminder of the deceased's life and a place for family and friends to pay their respects.
