Q. Kvod Horav Shlit’a. We recently had in a levaya in Mexico, and as you likely remember when the cadaver is transferred from various different locations to be buried in the Jewish cemetery in Mexico City, different coffins are used by law. What should be done with the ones already used in transit, but not at the burial?
A. S'ridei Eish (2: !07) deals with a similar question regarding a coffin that was used originally but was in reality too small
.
Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a opinion is that since on the outset it was used only for transit temporarily, it could be reused again
