Resting place



A resting place was somewhere that a person's body was stored after they had died.

This was often done with a ceremony known as a funeral.

In the United States, and many other countries on Earth, it was common to bury the body six-feet under the soil, in a coffin.

In Ancient Egypt however, many mummified bodies were placed in the pyramids that were located there.

Alternative Names for Resting Places
