Hmm this is still very confusing and I have no idea what's going on but I'm gonna find a source an summarize something from it and cite it I suppose.

"As containers for the bodies of the dead, sarcophagi were merely the final visible layer in a series of concentric framing devices that defined the ultimate resting place of the deceased, and the realm of the Manes, or “Shades.”5"

Sarcophagi acted as the outermost layer of a burial system, having several layers within the shell.
