Coffin home
A Coffin Home (Chinese: 義莊) is a temporary coffin depository where the coffins of overseas Chinese who desire burial in their home villages in Mainland China can be stored. Storage is also provided for those deceased unable to afford a funeral or where relatives cannot be located. Coffins are later transferred to their destinations or buried locally.
