It contains a coffin, it's an outer later meant for crypts and tombs where there's space around the interment, usually.

What about a burial vault?

I'm trying to get the "this encloses that" matrioshka order of funerary containers correct so I can enclose the world's most anticlimactic 'pop goes the weasel' joke for future archeologists.

I guess so far I'm at: sealed vial of blood, inside paper bag of ashes, inside travel urn, inside urn, inside coffin, inside casket, inside sarcophagus, inside burial vault, inside tomb, inside cenotaph, inside pyramid.
