"Casket" is the correct term here.
A "Coffin" is oddly-shaped box (8 sides seen from overhead, plus top and bottom making a 10 sided solid), popularlized by Count Dracula and by Old West coffin-makers who have them ready to be filled in Clint Eastwood "Man with No Name" movies.
(My neighbor is a funeral director. Oh, and another little funeral director tidbit ... "Milk expires. People die.")
