	Catafalque (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Catafalque, derived from the Italian word catafalco, literally means a scaffold or elevation, but in its strictly liturgical sense the word is employed to designate the cenotaph-like erection which is used at the exequial offices of the Church, and takes the place of the bier whenever the remains are not present.
		The catafalque is usually placed immediately outside the sanctuary, and is the centre of the ceremonies of that part of the exequial office known as the absolution, receiving the same attention as the corpse would if present.
		During the absolution at the catafalque the cross-bearer should always stand between it and the door of the church, the celebrant or officiant being at the other end, between it and the sanctuary.

		The object of the catafalque was to keep the older custom in mind, and to add greater solemnity to the service.

	Sean Henry \| Catafalque \| 21ST CENTURY BRITISH SCULPTURE
		Sean Henry's new sculpture, Catafalque, continues his theme of the human condition that runs through his work.
		The attentiveness the artist has shown to the modelling and subtle colouring gives Catafalque a strength of character; no clean edges, and skin that almost resembles a painted texture of thick brushstrokes.
		The result is the viewer being totally drawn in by the sculpture, allowing him to reflect on his own humanity.

		According to The Guardian, "[The Queen Mother's coffin] will be placed on a purple-draped catafalque at the spot where George VI lay in state in February 1952." This is another lexical orphan without an adjective or other relative.
		Suggested Usage: Remember that a catafalque is usually more than a simple bier: "The flowers formed an elaborate and colorful catafalque around the coffin." One can imagine someone desiring to lie in state in their yard, so that the garden they had labored in for years could serve as their catafalque.
		English borrowed it from French "catafalque" which was borrowed from Italian "catafalco." It seems to come from a Medieval Latin word based on the Greek prefix kata- "under" plus a Latin stem fala or falicum "wooden tower or gallery." However, both the Latin stem and the Greek prefix added to it are suspicious.
