Police visited the Peraia cemetery near Thessaloniki in Greece, however a doctor who examined her body at the scene claimed she had been dead for hours and could not have possibly been buried alive due to her advanced state of rigor mortis.Evidently she was lying when she was screaming "I'm alive". Being in Greece she may have been accidently buried with a bottle of Windex.

Some attribute the expression, “saved by the bell”, to that old custom.

If you’re embalmed properly, then you’ve rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.

Yeah. And they’d have people waiting in the cemetery to listen for bells. That’s apparently the origin of the phrase, “Graveyard shift”.

Bad way to go. Not the surrounded by family experience most hope for.

In modern cultures like the US, we embalm the living!
And then, they aren’t.

Ted Kennedy was embalmed for years before he died.

That would be a funeral memory of a life time.
Sitting there in a chair and screaming comes out of the casket.
Woo Hoo!

I doubled checked. I was wrong (and you may well be correct). I found this:
“Folk etymology has suggested that the phrases “saved by the bell”, “dead ringer” and “graveyard shift” come from the use of safety coffins in the Victorian era; however, these have been dispelled as urban myth, .........”

cell phone battery must have been dead
To: heartwood
Yep ... better to be killed by embalming than to be buried alive. I doubt many living people are alive when they are embalmed anyway. another choice is cremation. then you can be burned alive. choices. choices
