'luggage under coach' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'dead bodies initially stashed in' is the wordplay.
'dead bodies' becomes 'carcases' (carcase is a kind of dead body).
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
The initial letter of 'stashed' is 's'.
'carcases' going around 's' is 'CARCASSES'.
