As with modern day Christianity, the Ancient Egyptians placed the decreased into a coffin. The mummified remains were carefully placed within a wooden coffin or as with the pharaohs, placed into a stone sarcophagus, and placed within the tomb. Some burials featured multiple coffins within the Sarcophagus, as in the case of King Tutankhamen. These coffins were also painted with spells and the name of the departed.
