feretory

Feretory, fer′e-tor-i, n. a shrine for relics carried in processions.

This seriously affected Chichester, as the fate of the feretory of S. Richard was involved by the mandate.

At one time, before the erection of the reredos, the feretory must have been visible from the choir.

The fragments now in the feretory are often very fine, but are most of them sadly mutilated.
