They were showing it for all the first weeks after ANS died, on ET or another, showing it covered over with plywood, but already dug, as if for ANS.

Now I'm thinking that was possibly Daniel's (although the one next to this one has brown grass and the others don't, because it's new sod squares, just put back on top after burial)? No, they wouldn't open it up with him in it, even tho they've been saying she will be buried on top of his, would they?

Maybe there's something down in the ground that's on top of the coffin that's already in there, for when they open it up to put a second coffin in it - like some kind of platform.

The Negris were visiting the island for the day off a cruise ship and took a cab to visit the cemetary and ocean-front home of the late entertainment celebrity claiming the spots were the 'talk of the ship'.

usually when they double stack them the use a concrete vault around each casket. They dig deep enough so that 2 of these concrete vaults can be stacked on top of each other.
Part of the reason they use the concrete vaults is due to the ground sinking in when you don't use one. Eventually a casket will rust or rot away if dirt is the only thing that is around it, then the soil will sink in as the coffin gives away from age. (I not into being buried in the ground - I will be cremated because I think it gross to be put in a coffin and then put into the ground - the opposite of what Anna felt - she thought cremation was gross.)

Outer Coffin Vaults (don't go here is this will upset you - it doesn't bother me because it is a part life and death and anyone who wants to be buried in the ground will be shown these if they prearrange for their own funeral)

They can be fancy to plain looking... (the coffin goes inside these and they can weigh from 1,200 to 3,000 pounds)

I'm not sure if they have to have in the Bahamas but most likely they do because they allow for double plots. (two coffin stacked on top of each other)

This is the just note that explains why some cemeteries require them...

Does not include outer burial container (state or local law does not require you to buy a vault, however many cemeteries require a vault or outer container so the grave will not sink in.
