A Japanese couple stepped up to the casket and bowed low three times. (Deep bows, not just a bending of the head.)

Saw that - didn't know who they were though.

Bowing represents humility. You elevate, honour, and respect the other person by humbling yourself or lowering yourself. The lower you bow, the more you are honouring or respecting the other party.
