Ten "coffins?" Carved mahogony? Just joking. LOL

Jesus' family wasn't wealthy. How did they afford such an elaborate set up with engravings, etc?

I would agree. Coffins with elaborate engravings was not the burial method for the working class and tradesmen in Judea. Wrapped in fine linen was the best one could hope for unless you were wealthy.
