interment
Charlotte is right, of course, about the literal meaning. I would call it interment (=place in a grave)

As far as I am aware, burial (in the literal sense) usually takes place some time after \"jordpåkastelse,\" which is a symbolic part of the ceremony, as Tore pointed out. That is why I opted for interment.

throwing dirt on the coffin
Year and date for "throwing dirt on the coffin"
That is what it means, but whether there is a more correct, specific term, I don't know. Maybe someone else has a better suggestion.
