Burials throughout history have not just been a mere act of burying the dead, but also a way of making a statement. Egyptians had burials within gigantic pyramids and the Vikings buried their dead at sea. The final resting places can tell a lot about their occupants and the society in which they lived.
Recent research in Medieval Archaeology suggests that bed burials were practiced in early medieval Europe, but rarely. A bed burial was the burying of the dead in a bed.
