The present invention during transportation, is not only able to narrow the space occupied during storage, assembly work and, it is possible to wipe out the time and effort of the inspection work after assembly, yet when you remove the lid, and saving that was made to be easier to hide the bodies It provides the coffin of space type. a can body 1 A is open the top, I formed by a cover 2 for closing the top of the can body 1. The lid 2, and a horizontal-like top surface portion 2a, is formed into three-dimensional shape in a downwardly inclined shape of the inclined surface portion 2b toward the outside around the ceiling surface portion 2a. The lid 2 is formed in a storable size the coffin body 1 in an inverted state. Also the cover 2, and accommodated in the upside down coffin body 1, the top surface portion 2a is formed to a height in contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate 1a of the casket body 1. Also the lid 2 is formed with the protruding edge-like portion 2c for engaging the upper end surface of the side plate 1b of the body 1 from the coffin previously inclined surface portion 2b laterally. .BACKGROUND【課題】運搬時、保管時の占有スペースを狭小化できるだけではなく、組立て作業や、組立て後の検品作業の手間暇を一掃でき、しかも蓋を外したとき、遺体を見え易くなるようにした省スペース型の棺を提供する。【解決手段】上面を開口している棺本体1と、この棺本体1の上面を閉塞する蓋2とで形成する。蓋2を、水平状の天面部2aと、この天面部2aの周りの外側に向かって下り傾斜状の傾斜面部2bとで立体状に形成する。蓋2を、逆さの状態で棺本体1に収容可能な大きさに形成する。また蓋2を、棺本体1に逆さにして収容すると、天面部2aが棺本体1の底板1aの上面に当接する高さに形成する。また蓋2を、棺本体1の側板1bの上端面に係止する縁状部2cを傾斜面部2bの先から側方に突出状に備えて形成する。【選択図】図1
