The act or process of placing a dead body into a coffin; a funeral or burial ceremony.
From 'encoffin' + '-ment' (noun-forming suffix). The '-ment' ending emphasizes this as a formal, ritualistic process rather than just an action.
Medieval and Early Modern texts use 'encoffinment' to describe the solemn transition from life to death—it's a word that transforms a practical task into a dignified ritual.
