To be honest , when I die , id rather be comfy in a car , then in a coffin 6 feet under ground.

No disrespect to this person at all ,because im sure thats not how she wanted to be left.

But I have this fear of being buried alive , or being buried after death and still being...conscious..Sort of..So being in a car in a field would be fine with me..I would never ever get burried..It sounds weird..But I guess its a phobia I have

@cj3022yugioh believe me....you need not fear being burried alive. Once they have drained your blood and replaced it with embalming fluid.....I can assure you, beyond all doubt, you will definately be dead

I've worked for funeral homes, and in the instance of a death without a reachable next-of-kin the funeral home does not have the right to just dispose of a body as they wish. Many times they are called in at the discretion of the investigating police force. When nothing suspicious is discovered, the funeral home is called. Without refrigeration, the body decomposition means storage by other means. I've seen them stored in garages, boat houses and vans. This is a simple reality, not a travisty.

@cj3022yugioh i have the same phobia i cant stand to be restrained in any way, especially in a small space, like a coffin. i do NOT want to be buried.

I live right next to graham and followed this story somewhat. Turns out the mortuary did not have the means to store the body because of the major expense required to purchase and maintain a cooler. He probably should have cremated the body sooner but I guess they have to wait until they can track down any family.

@Snagprophet Sigh, ... No, she died alone in her apartment and no one knew until she began to smell.

poor lady - first died in a apt by herself then forgotten again in a herse -- prayers for her and family

[SuperLilyGaga27]

@12eebok Its not fair for there family thats the big deal and i pretty sure she would hate that thought

@MartynMage I'm not sure if you meant to do that, but americans wouldn't have an apostrophe.

I deserve to be slowly submersed, dried out then laid in a hearse!! LOL I'm just kidding everybody it's just a line from a song that I love. "Such Horrible Things" by Creature Feature, awesomest song ever and awesomest band ever.

Now being serious, whoever was too negligent to properly bury her is just a lazy fuck... there's no reason not to have a proper burial because someone can always afford it.

It's just a corpse.... what's the big deal...
