laid away
Reserved for later
Laid away means set aside or stored for future use.
In retail, to lay something away is to reserve merchandise while paying for it in installments: I laid away a winter coat at the department store.
The phrase also serves as a gentle euphemism for burial: She was laid away beside her husband in the family plot.
