Some trivia for you re Fr. Faber:

When they disinterred his body to bring it back for burial at the Oratory, the coffin was completely empty apart from his patent leather shoes!!!

No dust or bones?

Wow. Was the crypt damp?

(I'm really not being irreverent - at least not on purpose. I studied archaeology in college . . . and even in damp conditions there's usually a "shadow stain" at the least - even after thousands of years.)
