pine box
Simple wooden casket
A pine box is a simple wooden coffin, traditionally made from inexpensive pine boards.
The term often appears in expressions about death or burial, especially to emphasize plainness or frugality: Just bury me in a pine box.
It can suggest a no-frills death or serve as a blunt reference to mortality: They'll carry him out in a pine box.
