maybe i should tell you the sort of coffin... its a sort of large WOODEN coffin, that, sadly, has SPLINTERS sticking out all over... (it's old) and it was slanted on the steps... not the easiest thing to get into, and the lid isn't like a push open sword of deal... the lid and coffin ARE NOT ATTACHED... not that easy to maneuver... ah yes, did i mention how large it is? it was made for someone who has claustrophobia (aka, my dad) so it was large, and that obviously means the lid isn't exactly the lightest thing in the world....
