A Sub-Trope of Disposing of a Body, this trope involves hiding a body in a coffin that is already scheduled to be buried or cremated. This can be done with the connivance of a crooked funeral director or, for the more desperate or less organized, by breaking into a funeral home the night before a funeral. If it is done by a crooked funeral director, then the concealment may involve a false bottom in the coffin. Otherwise, the second corpse will just be shoved under the first and the lid screwed back down. In fiction, at least, this ploy will usually be discovered when the pallbearers drop the coffin due to the extra weight, and two bodies spill out. A variation involves burying a body in the bottom of a newly dug grave, so a coffin will be placed on top of the corpse and the grave filled in. Contrast Together in Death, where lovers in life get buried together after they die. A sister trope is Coffin Contraband, where something other than a body is hidden in a coffin. Bodybag Trick is when a coffin is used to smuggle a living body. |

Sherlock: In The Abominable Bride, Sherlock thinks that there is a second body buried beneath the coffin of Emelia Ricoletti. However, his attempt to dig it up is part of a drug-induced hallucination so the viewer never learns if he was correct or not. | |

Ghost in the Shell: Arise. The first episode opens with Public Security disinterring the grave of a military officer whose cyber brain they need to access. Instead, they find the coffin empty except for an android that tries to kill them. Later Motoko goes back to the gravesite and finds another coffin buried underneath the first, with the officer's body. | |

Allegedly this method was used by The Mafia to dispose of bodies; secretly burying the victims of mob hits along with the bodies of those who died of more natural causes, sometimes by using "double-decker" coffins. It was Joe Bonanno, the namesake boss of the Bonanno crime family from 1931 to 1968, who reportedly popularized the concept as he owned a funeral parlor. | |

The Cramped Casket enemy in Bloodborne is this coming around, not as the result of disposing of a murder victim, but cheapskate tenement landlords only buying one coffin for a family to share after The Virus killed everyone in the house. The result is a nightmarish heap of screaming, fused-together zombies dragging around a coffin as a foot and gobbing semi-congealed rotting blood clots as a ranged attack. | |

A variation in The Assassination Bureau. After Ivan replaces the body in the coffin with himself, Sonia slips down to the funeral gondola by another route and climbs into the boat—only to end up in a deep well right underneath where the coffin is placed. This allows her to unscrew the bottom and let him fall out on top of her, where he can remain hidden until the coffin is disposed of and they can escape. | |

This is presumed to have happen to Abigail Craven and Tully Alford at the end of the 1991 film version of The Addams Family. Portal Book-summoned hurricane-force winds blow them out of the Addams mansion, and they land in freshly-dug graves, with Wednesday and Pugsley there ready to fill the graves with dirt. If they survived the fall, they could also be Buried Alive. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In "Goodbye Iowa", Initiative soldiers search Spike's crypt, reading to kill any undead person on sight. Realizing from the still-warm television that someone has been there recently, they lift the lid off a stone sarcophagus, only to find a skeleton covered by a burial shroud. After they leave, Spike appears from beneath the corpse. Buffy herself has pulled the same trick when hiding from vampires. Similarly, Giles once hid in an occupied drawer in a morgue. | |

Midsomer Murders: The 'body buried in the grave beneath a coffin' is used in "Beyond the Grave". This is attempted in "Four Funerals and a Wedding", but rain washes away the dirt and exposes the body before the coffin can be placed in the grave. Also, the victim was the deacon who was supposed to be performing the funeral service. |

A bit on Family Guy has the characters mentioning Meg's funeral. They cut away to a coffin being lowered into the ground...and then Peter runs in from offscreen, chucks Meg's body under the coffin and runs away yelling "Thanks, didn't want to pay for the hole!" | |

Sherlock Holmes: In "The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax", the villains are too squeamish to commit murder outright, so they chloroform Lady Frances and hide her in the coffin containing the body of her old nurse, which is due to be buried the next day. Which is still murder, only a slow and painful one by asphyxiation. | |

The Brokenwood Mysteries: Rather than two corpses in one coffin, one episode's murder victim is found in someone else's coffin, with the original body nowhere to be found. | |
