1. A filling system for delivery of at least one substance to a covering, the filling system comprising the covering, a funnel shaped container and a plunger, the covering comprising a compartment, the funnel shaped container comprising a scoop portion connected to a hollow barrel, the scoop portion comprising a central flat base, the barrel configured for insertion into the covering, the barrel having a proximal opening configured to receive a portion of the plunger and a distal opening to dispense the at least one substance into the covering, the plunger adapted for slidingly pushing the at least one substance through the hollow barrel out of the distal opening and into the covering, the plunger comprising a smooth elongated portion extending within the hollow barrel, a projection and a flared solid handle at one end of the plunger, the projection and the solid flared handle being wider than an inner diameter of the hollow barrel so that the projection and the solid flared handle prevent the one end of the plunger from entering into the hollow barrel. 2. A filling system according to claim 1, wherein the central flat base is connected to a front wall, opposite side walls and a funnel shaped neck opposite the front wall. 3. A filling system according to claim 1, wherein the hollow barrel has a top end and a bottom end, the top end connected to a funnel shaped neck and the bottom end comprising a bulge configured for insertion into the covering. 4. A filling system according to claim 2, wherein the funnel shaped neck forms an axial access channel at one end adjoining the central flat base and at the opposite end defines an opening connecting the neck to the barrel. 5. A filling system according to claim 1, wherein the elongated portion extends the length of the barrel from a top end to a bottom end and is configured to slidingly access the hollow barrel. 6. A filling system according to claim 1, further comprising a spatula for dispensing the at least one substance for introduction into the funnel shaped container. 7. A filling system according to claim 6, wherein the spatula comprises a stalk portion having two ends, a conical tip at one end and a shovel area at the opposite end. 8. A filling system according to claim 3, wherein the covering has at least one compartment comprising an elongated containment having a first end and a second end opposite each other, the elongated containment defining an opening configured to receive the at least one substance, the elongated containment adapted to receive a closing member. 9. A filling system according to claim 8, wherein the opening of the covering is flared and configured to receive a bulge of the barrel. 10. A filling system according to claim 8, wherein the closing member comprises drawing strings, stitches, sutures, wing sutures, heat seals, adhesion, pressure fittings, coil ring, twist ties or combinations thereof. 11. A filling system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one substance comprises autograft, allograft, demineralized bone matrix fiber, demineralized bone chips or a combination thereof. 12. A filling system according to claim 2, wherein the funnel shaped neck further comprises a first fluted portion and a second fluted portion, the first fluted portion and the second fluted portion are contiguous and comprise a top rim. 13. A kit facilitating the placement of at least one substance within a covering, the kit comprising: a funnel shaped container having a scoop portion connected to a barrel and a plunger, the barrel having a proximal opening configured to receive a portion of the plunger and a distal opening to dispense the at least one substance into the covering, the scoop portion comprising a central flat base, the plunger adapted to slide through the barrel of the funnel shaped container for pushing the at least one substance out of the distal opening and into the covering, the plunger comprising a smooth elongated portion extending within the hollow barrel, a projection and a flared solid handle at one end of the plunger, the projection and the solid flared handle being wider than an inner diameter of the hollow barrel so that the projection and the solid flared handle prevent the one end of the plunger from entering into the hollow barrel; an inner tray with recesses configured to receive the funnel shaped container and the plunger; a retainer positioned on top of the inner tray, the retainer for holding the funnel shaped container and plunger in place; an inner lid and an outer lid for sealing the funnel shaped container and the plunger from the environment. 14. A kit according to claim 13, further comprising a spatula, the spatula having a stalk portion and a truncated shovel end, the shovel adapted to pack the at least one substance into the funnel shaped container. 15. A method of filling a covering with at least one substance which comprises: providing a covering having at least one flared opening;providing a funnel shaped container having a scoop portion connected to a hollow barrel, the hollow barrel having a proximal opening configured to receive a portion of a plunger and a distal opening configured to dispense at least one substance into the covering, the scoop portion comprising a central flat base, the barrel configured for insertion into the flared opening of the cover;providing the at least one substance into the funnel shaped container;providing the plunger comprising a smooth elongated portion extending within the hollow barrel, a projection and a flared solid handle at one end of the plunger, the projection and the solid flared handle being wider than an inner diameter of the hollow barrel, and pushing the at least one substance with the plunger through the barrel out of the distal opening and into the covering. 16. A method according to claim 15, wherein a spatula provides the at least one substance into the covering. 17. A method according to claim 15, wherein the at least one substance comprises autograft, allograft, demineralized bone matrix fiber, demineralized bone chips or a combination thereof. 18. A method according to claim 15, further comprising adding a bioactive material to the at least one substance. 19. A method according to claim 18, wherein the bioactive material comprises protein, bone morphogenetic proteins, carbohydrate, lipids, collagen, allograft bone, autograft bone, tricalcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, growth and differentiation factors, carriers for growth factors, growth factors extracts of tissue, bone marrow aspirate, concentrates of lipid derived or marrow derived adult stem cells, umbilical cord derived stem cells, committed or partially committed cells from osteogenic or chondrogenic lineage, antimicrobials, antibiotics, statins, or combinations thereof.
