How long would a wake for Keith Richards need to be?

Just asking for my grandchildren.

From the website, Lives and Legacies:

The use of bells was perhaps the most affordable way to watch for premature burial. Bells were tied to the body and hung on the ground surface above the grave. The bell would ring if there was movement below ground. This is where the term “dead-ringer” originates.

Maybe two years...just remember every cigarette you smoke adds another year to his life!

Here's an interesting one:

Man was so scared of being buried alive that he got a window fitted in his grave

Problem is that concept almost never was carried out.

There is a story of a man who was afraid of this issue so put a “window” through the casket clear up through the ground. I mean it is real. I believe I saw it on a YouTube upload. Shows the current condition of the window. Very small, so not real effective.

That’s it! Thank. Was just referring to this.

This is where the term “dead-ringer” originates.

No, it isn't.

When you cut into a cadaver they don’t bleed. Because the heart is not pumping.

If you make an incision and it starts to bleed that person is still alive.
