I've seen pictures of mothers and newborns in the same coffin, but I think that this is the first picture I've seen of a whole family in the same coffin.

Usually when two or more family members were buried in a single coffin, it was because they died at the same time. The majority of such burials were/are women who died, along with their infants, during childbirth. When two children, a father and child, etc. were buried in the same coffin, it was most often because they died together in an accident such as a road mishap or from something like gas inhalation.
