In order to maintain control (especially when going up and down steps or over grass at the cemetery), it is hard to support the weight directly on the shoulder. I think, when I carried a coffin, I supported weight with my hand, but kept it very close to my shoulder for strength and stability. It gives you more spring suspension.

I dont know the significance of the positions but as for the shoulder carry it requires very little effort to carry one dead body among six men.
