noun

Etymology: From Middle English enterement, interment, from Old French enterrement. By surface analysis, inter + -ment.

1. The act of burying a dead body; burial.

   “In a chamber tomb at Milatos, Mr. Evans discovered in 1899 a painted larnax or sarcophagus, on which there is figured a great Mycenæan body shield, although not of the usual figure-of-eight shape. A false neck vase, however, that belongs almost certainly to the same interment is, in shape and design, similar to one found at Muliana in company with two late bronze broadswords, and bronze brooches like those found at Thunder Hill.”

   “She was to be given a state funeral, followed by interment at Arlington National Cemetery.”
