Definition
A decorated wooden framework or platform, often draped with cloth, used to display a coffin during a funeral or memorial ceremony.
Etymology
From Italian 'catafalco' (possibly from Latin 'castellum' meaning fortress), used in English since the 1600s for funeral architecture.
Kelly Says
Royal funerals feature elaborate catafalcos that can be taller than a house, sometimes decorated with hundreds of candles and symbols—they're temporary monuments to the dead!
