"I'm in, let's get him ready to move and head out. We will need a litter or some such thing unless we want to wrap him in a sheet and throw him over my shoulder."
Caine looks around at the others then back to Ireena.
"Only attacking at night, I hope," Caine says before reaching down to get a corner of the coffin. "If we each get a hand on here, it should be easy to move."
Razi takes in the conversation, noting the corpse of the old man, and the armored woman. Each time he raises a finger to ask a question, it is already handled by one of his allies first.
Though he has some concerns about how another visit to the church will play out given... the unpleasantness of their last trip, he steps in alongside Caine to help with the coffin.
"I'm Razi, miss," He says to Ireena. "We met your brother. Seems a charming fellow. We are happy to do anything we can to help. With a bit of luck and the guidance of the Light, we should have this vampire business cleared up in a few days."

Remembering her manners as Razi introduces himself, Nelyna nods to the woman in armor. "My name is Nelyna Ravenguard. We will do what we can to help you and your father."
"Ah, well that explains it," Jim says. "Sorry... I mean the signs of scratch markings on the different buildings around town. The name's Jim, by the way, Jim Cindaz."

If it's nice, Razi will compliment the craftsmanship. "This is a beautiful burial box. There is little we can do for the departed, but this is a fine testament to a man well-loved by his kin."
If its cheap, Razi will offer to spend a few hours making a new one. "I'm a carpenter by trade. If you have no where else to be tonight, with some quality lumber I could make a casket fit for a man of his import."

Caine settles in for a bit while Razi sets about making a new coffin.
”What are Strahd’s servants like? We haven’t seen all that many people since we got here. Odd little house on the other side of town, your brother, a few quiet creepy types in the bar, the priest and his, um, son. Oh and the nice gran selling pies.”
Razi starts with a solid base of quality lumber (or whatever is available) and gets to work immediately. Relying on his history assisting with the building of churches, he tries to channel some of the reverence and serenity of faith into his craft. Using his carpenters tools and making liberal use of mage hand and guidance to work both quickly and carefully, he does his best to make a coffin fit for a Bürgermeister.
[Shooting for something like this as the inspiration... if time allows he would try to throw a carving of the family crest, or the family motto into the trim.]

Nelyna watches Razi with curiosity and a certain awe as he crafts an elegant coffin fit for a noble lord.
"Razi, that's beautiful," she says. "Where did you learn how to do that?"
While Razi was working on the coffin, Nelyna worked on summoning her familiar, a beautiful, snowy owl that she called Persephone. From her component pouch, she withdraws charcoal, incense, and herbs and using the hearth in the parlor, she burns the ingredients while reciting the incantation.
(If it takes around an hour for Razi to finish the coffin. If it's all right with you DM, Nelyna already had the ingredients for the spell, but if Persephone goes down to 0 HP, Nelyna will have to find new ingredients to create her again.)
[I think it will take well more than an hour, though it is up to the DM just what Razi can actually accomplish given the time and materials available.]
