When you die

[DEN53]

what would you like placed in your coffin with you - back in the dark ages they used to attach a piece of string to the deceased's hand and a bell was left on top of the plot just in case they were buried alive - they would pull the string attached to the bell - hoping someone would hear.

I would have family sized bar of chocolate in mine, just in case I get peckish waiting for someone to hear my bell ring !!!!!!!!!!!11

When you die it is common practice in most developed countries to embalm the body to prevent decay for a short time until the funeral is over, to do this all the blood is drained from your body by way of an incision in the neck, so the chances of you being buried alive are nil.

I don't think that happened years ago, when they were using the string and bell method though.

den lol lol

No it is true some people back then were indeed buried alive, mainly because was not the embalming process and some doctors were no more than country hacks, some coffin lids were found with scratch marks on the inside as people tried to claw heir way out, read a book called "buried alive" gruesome but fascinating stuff

Thats true mudflap - I remember reading in the east end of London, they were relocating old graves from donkey's years ago - and when some of the lids got dislodged from the coffins, they did indeed see scratch marks on the inside.

Scary thought !!
