2 mins confidence: 
throwing dirt on the coffin Explanation: Year and date for "throwing dirt on the coffin" That is what it means, but whether there is a more correct, specific term, I don't know. Maybe someone else has a better suggestion. |

peer agreement (net): +2interment Explanation: Charlotte is right, of course, about the literal meaning. I would call it interment (=place in a grave) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 49 mins (2005-07-15 13:44:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As far as I am aware, burial (in the literal sense) usually takes place some time after \"jordpåkastelse,\" which is a symbolic part of the ceremony, as Tore pointed out. That is why I opted for interment. |
