Coffin

 is a world object in Fallout 3.

Description
Coffins are used for ceremonial purposes, specifically burial ones. A dead human is put into a coffin, and then they are put underground.

Background
Coffins in the Capital Wasteland are usually found above ground, most notably at SatCom Array NN-03d. They are large, wooden coffins with a cross on the lid/cover. Skeletons are found inside. In the add-on Point Lookout, virtually, all coffins found in Point Lookout contain Confederate soldiers apparel, weapon, food and/or misc. items.
