Mortsafe's were used in Victorian times to keep the bodies of loved ones safe from Resurrectionists - grave robbers who sold fresh bodies to medical students for teaching and experimenting on.
This one is made using iron bars to surround a coffin but other versions used iron fences and concrete. Some of the designs could get very fancy and many still exist today.
They are also useful for keeping Vampires and Zombies in their grave as it is often reported. The local necromancer's guild is petitioning the city council to have them removed.
No textures needed as it uses plc_rck for the iron bars.
Note: the sarcophogus doesn't have a pwk so I didn't create one for the mortsafe either. Note2: for some reason, Bioware made the sarc model a Character which is why it probably doesn't need a pwk as a placeable. An interesting hack for sure - I wonder if it also triggers a hostile act against the faction without scripting.
edit: now added as a hak with a test module. now includes an empty version that has the pwk for existing graves and coffin.
In the future I'd like to make a few more designs for variety.
Thanks to builder_anthony for the idea and jfk for the background on them.

Reminds me somewhat of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" (Madelaine's catalepsy).

I seem to recall she was bricked up behind a wall ala Countess Báthory. I could be wrong - it's been years since I read it. Same idea though :).
Same about reading it long ago although my reccollection of the story is that she was placed in a coffin which itself was placed in a cage. Both cage and coffin being in catacombes below the house. But hey we both could be wrong
.

Cool idea for a plceable.
