    Interesting, Hilly, about the screws. One of the few laws about coffins in NSW is that the lid must be screwed down.

    (I'm told that it is so the oncologists won't try just one more round of chemo.)

    So the axiom of Another nail in the coffin.... is incorrect!

    One is screwed into it!*



    * I know a quote from Game Of Thrones that would fit here, but it might be a bit rude

    Traditionally, flat nails were used in coffins. Because they were being driven into end grain at the head and foot of the coffin, their tendency to turn around and look at the hammer was an advantage.
