A burial capsule with an interlocking lid is designed to enable a user to view the body of a deceased individual in unique configurations. To achieve this, the burial capsule has a base receptacle, a lofted lid, an interlocking rail assembly, and a cap. An interior compartment of the base receptacle is used to store the body of the deceased. Additionally, the interlocking rail assembly has a set of rails that are mounted in between the base receptacle and the lofted lid. Specifically, a pair of interlocking rails are mounted onto the base receptacle and a corresponding pair of interlocking rails are mounted onto the lofted lid. The rails are designed to form an interlocking connection that enables the lid to be slidably mounted onto the base receptacle. The cap and lid work in concert to seal the interior compartment of the base receptacle.

The present invention relates to a coffin with a lower side and an upper side. Said coffin comprises a structure and an inner lid, where the structure includes a first frame located on the lower side of the coffin, a second frame located on the upper side of the coffin, a plurality of ribs connected to the first frame, protruding towards the upper side, and connecting the second frame with said first frame, and a covering surface connected to the ribs. In turn, the inner lid has an arcuate shape and is arranged on an inner side of the second frame, where the ends of the inner lid arcuate shape lay on the ribs of the structure. Moreover, in some embodiments of the invention the coffin comprises at least one retractable handle arranged on the cover surface. Said handle can comprise a handgrip, a lanyard connected to the handgrip and to the first frame; and an elastic element connected to the cover surface and coupled to the lanyard. The elastic element is set up to exert an elastic force on the lanyard that allows for the handgrip to be drawn towards the cover surface.
