______________ is not here. What you see before you is the tabernacle in which they lived here on earth. Tenderly and reverently we lay this body to rest. Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust. 1 Thessalonians 4:13 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.

Most people are buried in standard wooden coffins, in graves. Some people are cremated and have their ashes buried in a grave and some have them spread in a location of their choice. For funerals, most people are in a funeral home and then removed to a church in the evening where friends and family are. The next morning the funeral happens. Some people will stay in their own home overnight and there may be a wake and they will be brought to the church on the night before or on the morning of the funeral.

The question is not entirely clear. All liturgy is sung because Hebrew is basically a musical language. Liturgical prayers and blessings are sung in much the same way a creed or Gregorian chant is done, simply because a rhythm is easy to remember. Some of the liturgical "songs" are the Shema, the Amidah, and the Aaronic Benediction.
The question should read what instead of who! The answer is President Jackson's pet parrot! Where do you think his parrot learned that 'foul' language? Could this have been, in some sense, him speaking from the grave?!
Some places where coffins are stored: graveyard or grave, mausoleum, earth, crypt, hearse, cemetery, or a funeral home.
