Italian term or phrase: a cassetta di tegole
Hi all,

I'm translating an article on funeral rites and grave goods.

La cremazione, il rito funerario più attestato, era diretta o indiretta.
Nel primo caso i resti combusti, dopo una scelta degli stessi (ossilegium) erano trasportati in altro luogo in cui erano in seguito deposti in nuda terra o in un cinerario; nel secondo caso erano sepolti ove c’era stato il rogo funebre (bustum).
I cremati erano deposti in fossa semplice oppure in strutture tombali, che potevano essere ad anfora segata e capovolta, alla cappuccina o ***a cassetta di tegole***.

No idea how to translate this, so any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

in brick chest


Explanation:
La cremazione

La cremazione fu il rito funebre tipico nel territorio veronese dal I alla metà circa del III sec.d.C. Sono visibili al Museo corredi con oggetti di uso domestico e simbolico che accompagnavano il defunto nell’aldilà.

Principali tipi di tomba a cremazione

E’ visibile al Museo un disegno che illustra i vari tipi di tombe:

In terra/ contained within a pit in the ground
In cista calcarea/ in limestone chest
In anfora segata/ in sawn amphora
In urna vitrea/ in glass urn
Incinerazione diretta (lat. bustam)/ cremation buried in situ
In urna/ in pottery urn
**In cassetta di laterizi/in brick chest**
Alla cappuccina/in a triangular structure of tiles so called “capuchine style”
