Isn’t it the same as after a crime investigation the victim’s effects are returned to the family?

I’ve been thinking about grave articles recently. Other than the value and quantity, what is so different about what is put in ancient Egyptian and Chinese graves from the toys we put into a child’s casket, or the well-loved and used items that went into my mother’s casket. My grandfather’s will asked that his mother’s photo be placed in his ashes urn. For some reason, there’s something instinctive in us to want our loved ones to go with the things they found dear.
