From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Funeral
      Burying was among the Jews the only mode of disposing of corpses
      (Gen. 23:19; 25:9; 35:8, 9, etc.).
     
         The first traces of burning the dead are found in 1 Sam.
      31:12. The burning of the body was affixed by the law of Moses
      as a penalty to certain crimes (Lev. 20:14; 21:9).
     
         To leave the dead unburied was regarded with horror (1 Kings
      13:22; 14:11; 16:4; 21:24, etc.).
     
         In the earliest times of which we have record kinsmen carried
      their dead to the grave (Gen. 25:9; 35:29; Judg. 16:31), but in
      later times this was done by others (Amos 6:16).
     
         Immediately after decease the body was washed, and then
      wrapped in a large cloth (Acts 9:37; Matt. 27:59; Mark 15:46).
      In the case of persons of distinction, aromatics were laid on
      the folds of the cloth (John 19:39; comp. John 12:7).
     
         As a rule the burial (q.v.) took place on the very day of the
      death (Acts 5:6, 10), and the body was removed to the grave in
      an open coffin or on a bier (Luke 7:14). After the burial a
      funeral meal was usually given (2 Sam. 3:35; Jer. 16:5, 7; Hos.
      9:4).
