@Underconstruction: Maybe there is a similarity. The in-coffin goes back to the laying in of the deceased into coffin at home and then the family and neighbors sit around the coffin, read the bible and pray. It ends when the coffin is taken out of the house
@Dreammmer: That's how it used to be way back in the day.
