The chapel was the center of the mortuary cult, the place where funerary priests would perform rituals, recite spells, and leave offerings to ensure that the deceased would prosper in the afterlife. The focus of the chapel room is the false door, which represented the place where offerings would be made for the deceased. It was also the site where the spirit, which in theory could come up from the burial chamber and proceed forth from the inner niche, would take its sustenance. Several representations of Kapure, both standing and sitting, appear on the false door. Other scenes feature butchering and the presentation of meat offerings to the deceased.
Hieroglyphic texts describe the activity and, in a few cases, document the speech of the workers.
