So that people can't lift it off, some people get so upset at funerals they may want to open it. Also if the lid wasn;t nailed on, one of the pallbearers may fall whilst carrying it and the lid may fall off and the corpse may even fall out!!! It's for safety purposes I suppose!!!
I live in Greece and they have open coffins at funerals, in fact I don'think they nail the lid on for burial, they just place it on. I ave told my husband that if I have an open coffin I want him to make sure my mouth is open to look like I'm laughing, give everyone a fright when they look in!!!! I like to have the last laugh.

1. It helps out the hardware industry
2. To keep the lid on if the coffin floats out
3. To keep 'em in there!

so that when the dead rise they will have trouble getting out.
and if the guys who carry the coffin drop it the body doesn't fall out

And why don't they put a crowbar in with the deceased? When the trumpet sounds, they might be stuck.

To stop the bloated corpse exploding over the pall bearers.
