SEPULTURE — [Noun] The ritual act of placing a dead body in a grave or tomb; burial. From Middle English sepulture, from Old French sepulture, from Latin sepultūra ("burial"), from sepultus, past participle of sepelīre ("to bury"). Unlike interment, which echoes in the detached ledgers of law, or sepulchre, which names the cold, stationary monument, sepulture is the solemn, ancient ceremony of disappearance itself. It is the heavy lowering of the coffin on worn ropes, the dull thud of the first clod of earth on oak, and the collective turning away from the raw, mounded sod—the world's oldest punctuation mark, the quiet, physical grammar of conceding a body to the enduring patience of the ground.
