Coffin — Detailed Guide
A respawn point you can lie in
The Coffin is a piece of furniture introduced in ARK: Survival Ascended that works as a respawn point for its owner and their tribe. It can stand upright or lie flat, and its in-game text jokes that it suits anyone pretending to be an undertaker or a vampire.
The ARK Wiki compares it to a primitive 
Tek Sleeping Pod. A survivor can open and close it, lie inside, respawn from it and fast travel from it, and it can also capture a snapshot of your character that rests inside as decoration. It does not heal, though, and has none of the medical benefits a Tek Sleeping Pod offers.
DLC and unlocking
According to the wiki, it came to ASA with the Bob's Tall Tales Frontier Showdown DLC, which must be installed before a survivor can learn the engram, craft a Coffin or use one. The engram unlocks at level 20 and costs 0 engram points, and our data names the 
Simple Bed as its prerequisite.

It is crafted in the inventory from:
- 40
Wood or 
Fungal Wood - 30
Cementing Paste or
