Inhumation burials can either use a cinerary urn or an ossuary.  A sarcophagus is a container in which the body of the deceased is placed intact.

Sarcophagi can be simple stone, simple marble, marble with design, or marble with ornate design. 

You can also add a reclining portrait statue in marble to the lid for an additional 90,000 sestertii (120,000 for a pair of people).

Usually, the sarcophagus would include the epitaph of the deceased (which replaces the epitaph below the niche in the columbarium of the cremation burials).

Simple stone sarcophagus 3,000 sestertii
Simple Marble sarcophagus 10,000 sestertii
Marble sarcophagus with design 100,000 sestertii
Marble sarcophagus with ornate design 600,000 sestertii
Option: Portait Statue on Lid 90,000 sestertii (120,000 for a pair of people)
