(I planed to render it over the weekend but I left the top of my mac charger at school). The first thing that i animated was the walking up the stairs and although for some reason I planned to animate all of the steps I realized that would take a very long time and drag on anyways. for the coffin that they would be carrying I parented it to the bones of  my first character making it stay in his hands the entire way and adjusted the hands of my bottom character to the slight changes in height due to my slightly uneven stairs. when I finished the stairs I put them both in tossing positions at the top in one frame to start what would be the next scene with a cut and animated them throwing the coffin into the pit.
