Well, first of all, who do you mean when you say "they", and if you are reffering to Jesus being crucified, then "they" put Jesus into the stone coffin. After "they" brutaly ripped Jesus' living body apart, hung him by his wrists (I believe) and feet/ancles, and murderd him, "they" (the people who hated God/Jesus and believed otherwise that Jesus was not the true masiah, but a demond) wrapped him in white cloth and set him in the stone coffin. The stone coffin was used the same way that we do with burying the dead, just in a different way. Instead of burying the dead in the ground, they would place them in tombs. Three days after they set Jesus in the coffin/tomb, he arose from the dead. (just as he said he would before this all happend) I hope I wasnt way off subject there.

They put the mummified dead into a coffin made of wood (sometimes into several coffins), which were richly decorated, and the coffin (or coffins) was put into a sarcophagus which was made of stone.
