Scope note
Temporary structures for protecting the open grave immediately prior to interment or immediately after burial; typically having the form of a canopy, ramada, or tent. For structures of similar form, a ramada or shed but intended to exist for months or years rather than hours or days, prefer "gravehouses." For raised, canopied structures under which the coffin or effigy of a deceased person lies or is carried in state, prefer "catafalques."
