the family is normally presant when they lower the casket in.

The coffin is usually lowered into the ground, while the minister conducting the service says his concluding words.

It depends. Sometimes they lower it (usually at Jewish funerals they do); sometimes it rests on rails above the open grave with the flowers and all on it until everyone leaves.

It varies from sect to sect.
