buryings
Placing underground ceremonies
Buryings are acts of placing something in the ground, whether bodies in graves or objects meant to be hidden or stored.
The word appears in religious and historical contexts: The buryings took place at dawn.
It can also describe figurative concealment: All those buryings of the truth eventually came to light.
