Sarcophagus and Ossuaries

Print

One of the burial options is a sarcophagus which is a stone coffin that apparently rich or important people such as high priests were buried in.
The second coffin called ossuaries were reserved for common people.  An ossuary is a small coffin in which the bones of the dead were inside – that means that after a person died, their body was buried in a burial cave and after a certain period of time the bones were removed and placed in an ossuary.
