If this was a question about Jewish usage at the time of Jesus, I would say:
1) to allow the body to decompose leaving the bones for later storage in an ossuary
2) to protect the body (from animals and grave robbers)
3) perhaps to keep protect the loved ones from additional suffering (smell and just the sight of the decomposing body)
