The death tarot card depicts a coffin.

Death represents transformation, endings, and profound change. Depicted with a coffin, this version of the card emphasizes the symbolic death of an old self, habit, or phase. It does not predict physical death, but rather marks the end of a cycle and the beginning of renewal. The coffin is a vessel of closure — and preparation for rebirth. Death is about letting go of what no longer serves in order to clear space for evolution, growth, and clarity. Though it may feel unsettling, this card promises powerful transformation through release.
