Yea that's a good idea, the coffin can be made out of cardboard too.

The early series were quite heavy on the old dialogue, but it turned into antics-heavy comedy later.
If the coffin is going to fall, is it a good idea to have a real person inside it? Could be tricky. If Derek was an illusionist then perhaps you could incorporate that by having something an illusionist would use appear from the coffin? Something silly like a scarecrow or Charlin Chaplin with a walking stick?
