Social and religious rules mean that a funeral and disposal of a dead body is mandatory. Historically, not everybody could afford a funeral, so there was the most basic where the body would be placed in a sack and then given a religious ceremony. The coffin would be opened, body in sack removed, and re-used. The body would be dumped, and buried with other unfortunates later on.
