I'm trying to find a way to describe an old-fashioned coffin shape that was used probably in the 1800's Europe.
It's not the 'cigar box' shape we use now. Sometimes you see the shape in old Dracula movies but not often.
From the head, the sides went out wide around the shoulder area then narrowed back to the feet. It would probably be made of pine or birch.
Is there a name or description that people would picture in their minds for this type of coffin?
