In addition to the wooden pegs and binding, a little packing tape, seen on top of the coffin, is used to seal some cracks. The job is finally finished and the coffin is put in place of the bed, which will be dismantled and disposed of during the burial. The coffin will remain here for another four days for guests to pay respects, vigils to be held, and other ceremonies.
