People of different races do different things to the dead bodies of their loved ones, but since time immemorial, thousands of years ago, the Egyptians do not bury their dead in a coffin, they embalmed them to preserve them. And the proof is until now, we can find in Egypt these coffins with the bodies inside them, and they do everything to preserve those bodies. They show respect and Love for their dead relatives and christians do that also. They wrap the body with linen clothes and then put perfume, in the time of the Israelites in Egypt, they did the same thing. Genesis 50:26;
"So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt."
So it happened to Joseph, to show their respect and love for him, they embalmed him meaning putting perfume, spices etcetera then they put him in a coffin. Joseph is the patriarch of the Israelites.
When our Lord Jesus Christ died, they wrapped the body also and put Him in a grave near Jerusalem. John 19:39-42;
"39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand."
They embalmed Him and wrapped Him in linen, then they put Him in a coffin, and buried Him in a grave. That is the practice of the Hebrews and practice also of the first century christians, that is the information on what they did for the body of our Lord Jesus Christ when He died.
But this is different among different cultures of the earth.
Thank you very much for your continuous support 🙏
