I can't remember when this was, but I have a memory of Jack going to a morgue or some place and identifying Christian's body. They actually showed Christian's dead body.

In the flashes where the plan lands they said his father was never loaded onto the plane and they have no idea where the body is - is that something new in this timeline where they never went to the island or was it like that from the start? I'm fairly certain his coffin was never found in the original wreckage.

That's new to that timeline. Early on, maybe S1 or S2, they find his coffin on the island. When Jack opens it up, it was empty. So it was definitely loaded on the plane in the original timeline. Hence why they take Locke's body on the Ajira flight during their return to the island.
