reduced to burying their children and grandparents by the
roadside for fear of setting off land mines if they ventured
farther afield to provide a proper sepulcher.

c.1200, "tomb, burial place," especially in reference to the cave
where Jesus was buried outside Jerusalem (Holy Sepulcher or Saint
Sepulcher), from Old French sepulcre (11th century), from Latin
sepulcrum "grave, tomb," from root of sepelire "to bury,"
originally "to perform rituals on a corpse."
