What Wikipedia says

A larnax (plural: larnakes; Ancient Greek: λάρναξ, romanized: lárnax, plural: λάρνακες, lárnakes) is a type of small closed coffin, box or "ash-chest" often used in the Minoan civilization and in Ancient Greece as a container for human remains—either a corpse (bent back on itself) or cremated ashes.
