In ancient Egypt, during the mummification process, vital organs like the liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines were removed to prevent decay. These organs were often preserved in canopic jars, which were intricately designed and placed within the tomb alongside the mummy. Each jar was dedicated to a specific protective deity, ensuring the deceased's safe passage into the afterlife. This practice reflected the Egyptians' belief in the importance of preserving the body and its contents for eternity.

When a person dies do their bones and organs get took out before getting buried?

Normally no, however in ancient Egypt the mummification process required removal of the organs (which were placed in separate canopic jars) but not the bones. In modern times if a person (and the family agree) has indicated that they wish their organs/bones to be donated to others, then these can be removed before burial. Normally however dead people are buried or cremated intact.
