Coffins

Coffins usually symbolize mortality, but in the world of Freemasonry, their meaning can be a little hazy. Sometimes the coffins are depicted as a sprig of acacia, which depicts immortality. In other cases, a five-pointed star is associated with it.

Thus, the meaning of the coffin seems to be interchangeable with whatever context it is presented in.
