Respectfully, the word 'better' isn't used. The last paragraph describes three stages of relationship to the casket, i.e. trapped inside, dragged behind or disappeared.

It is used. Read the next sentence. It says that those who drag theirs are only a step better.

The next sentence is but one of many illusions
