Wait, you're telling me they put a dead body inside of that thing, and it's in a museum and not a graveyard?

This is akin to our modern day coffins. The remains would be placed in a sarcophagus and then placed in a family crypt outside of town, as the dead weren't allowed to be placed within the city limits. This one was buried in the Early Christian crypt found underneath modern day St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
