Steined grave?

[Jill on the A272]

Our local paper is reprinting facsimiles of pages from 1915 and I'm transcribing the account of a funeral for a contact in Australia and this phrase appears:

"The grave was a steined one, lined with evergreens and flowers, in the eastern part of the churchyard"

Any ideas? I've googled without success yet, online OED has not helped, but there are numerous references to steined graves in newspaper archives, for instance it cost 15s to be buried in one at Hastings in 1889.

Well I know that a stein is a beer mug ....

I found this which you probably found too - http://www.lexic.us/definition-of/steined

Maybe it refers to being round ????

Thankyou Caroline, I hadn't seen that one. It looks like the interior was walled in some way. As well as that the messages on the floral tributes have been interesting - giving all the pet names of his grandchildren.

To steen or stein is to line with stone.

Thankyou Katarzyna, he was a wealthy man so his family could well afford a more elaborate grave.
