catafalque
Bier is not far from the meaning, it has also to be with burials, but it is 1. A stand on which a corpse or a coffin containing a corpse is placed before burial. 2. A coffin along with its stand (AHD), while catafalque is 1. A decorated platform or framework on which a coffin rests in state during a funeral. 2. Roman Catholic Church A coffin-shaped structure draped with a pall, used to represent the corpse at a requiem. Eça or essa generally applies to a structure laying in a church, not to be taken to the burial.

Comment: "Thank you very much. The only thing I could find by googling was Eca de Queiroz - no wonder when the spelling was incorrect!"

eça
It could be the name of a person, like Eça de Queirós. It has no translation without the context. Or could be the name of a flower.
