Possible vivisepulture ping.

In modern countries that embalm the dead how can someone be buried alive anymore? That should only happen in 3rd world countries

Maybe the cemetery worker had DTs.

People are buried in the U.S. without being embalmed.
In most states, embalming is not required unless you die of an infectious disease, plan to have a viewing, or there will be a long period between death and interment or cremation. Some states require embalming to cross state lines.

It wasn’t the cough that carried her off — it was the coffin they carried her off in.

Wonder if one can request embalming before anything?

The real reason for posting this is that when the first premature burial article was posted this year, I referred to it as 'vivisepulture.'
Tax-chick pinged me about the second premature burial article with a "vivisepulture ping."
Since then, we've been pinging each other whenever vivisepulture comes up in an article. I believe we're at seven for the year, but Tax-chick may havw a better count.
We've only had one anthropodermic bibliopegy ping this year.

Didn’t they attach a bell to coffins in some countries in the late 1800’s? Seems like I remember that.
To: TribalPrincess2U
I don’t think you could request embalming before anything. I think your death would be a prerequisite. ;)

I understand its not unusual in European countries not to embalm; it’s expensive, so they do the historical norm. bury them in 24 hours, before, well, they start putrefying and getting ripe, so to speak. Especially in the Mediterranean countries (warmer, faster decomposition).

Way back, some would run a string from inside the coffin attached to a bell above ground, ostensibly so the prematurely buried individual could alert people above ground. The fear of being buried alive was not entirely irrational. Many diseases appeared to mimic death prior to the ability to test for brain wave activity, very slight pulse, etc.

Irrespective of vivisepulture, my mother has visited Greece and says that it is, without question, a Third World country.

Teddy Kennedy was already embalmed when he died.

Funny. Of course after death. BUT she wasn’t dead, was she? If you’re embalmed, you damn sure are dead.

Anything = cremation, burial.
