Egyptian funerary practice is pretty formulaic. A quick glance at the inscriptions, and I spot some traditional offering formulae. Here's a translation from the register on the right in the picture with the label beginning 'Priests were important people':
"An offering the king gives to Osiris, foremost of the westerners, lord of Djedu, a voice offering [of bread and beer] for him at every festival and every day..."
and then it cuts off. I'd expect the inscription to continue stating that these offerings are for the spirit of the tomb's owner, along with a list of some of his offices. I spot similar offerings to Anubis. I spot the epithet "venerable", indicating that the tomb owner had a funerary cult.
