MEXICO CITY — Authorities in Mexico say a newborn baby girl declared dead by doctors revived inside her coffin during her wake.

Hidalgo state Attorney General Jose Rodriguez says the parents heard a strange noise coming from the tiny casket. Opening it up, they found her crying and very much alive.

The baby, who was born prematurely Monday, is in stable condition at a different hospital.

Don’t they embalm you before they put you in the casket?

They don’t usually embalm in Mexico, especially in border towns because the bodies have so many bullet holes the embalming fluid leaks out.

This happens all the time in Mexico because they very rarely embalm. Usually, people are buried the day they die or the next day.

Whoa!

That’s scary. It’s a good thing the baby is too young to know what was going on.

Obamacare would have bludgeond the baby to validate the diagnosis.

Excellent idea.

It is a choice ... even in America. It saves about a thousand dollars to not embalm. Funerals are big business. Thousands of dollars result from every tiny thing being an extra cost. Yet the items they sell or the items brought to the funeral home for the deceased to be buried in are often not used. IE. Shoes are not usually put on the feet. the clothes are cut down the back and made to look as if they were actually on the body, etc.

About 50% or more is made because the family is in emotional upset and sorrow. So it is easy to sell costly coffins, and many extras.(make up, bathing, viewing room time, etc.

Some are doing green funerals. Using biodegradable boxes. Sort of a pressed cardboard material.

It saves thousands to do a green funeral. the average cost is about $8,000; but can be done nicely for $3,000.

Holding the wake at home or in a church parlor saves another several hundred dollars. etc.

Funeral homes are one of the biggest rackets going. They bloodsuck off the grieving.

Cardboard coffin sounds great to me. Seriously, somebody can just toss my body out of a moving car on some dirt road. Who cares?

The government will care. Soon they will confiscate your body to produce food via Soylent Green

Moliere’s doctors would have made sure of their diagnosis by strangling her before releasing the body. Coming to hospital near you.

Not to mention the cemetery plot, the marker, the required now watertight/airtight vault to place the casket inside before burial. We are taught it honors and shows respect for our loved ones.

Billy Graham visited a prison where there was /is an inmate making pine box coffins that impressed him. He bought one for himself when he passes and had it shipped to him. Perhaps he used one when his wife died a while back.

The old way of ... get them in the ground ASAP is a good one.

YEP! Imagine the cost of Michael Jackson's funeral $$$$$$$$$$$$$
