These people are terrified of death and view it as a process that just follows the same icy steps - the doctor, the minister, the undertaker, the mourners, the grave digger, and then poof! The recently alive are now totally forgotten from this world. That view on death may not be a very healthy one, so perhaps Dickinson wrote this poem as to be a mirror, so that the reader might see this and change.
