Sad if true but cant see it some how

Reminds me of the reason we say "Dead ringer"

related to an old English fear that you might be buried alive. After exhuming a number of coffins and finding scratch marks on the inside of 1 in 25 of them, it was realised that many people were not quite dead when they were buried. Cemetaries started tying a string around the wrist of the corpse which was attached to a bell on top of the grave. If the bell rang, the graveyard employees had to dig it up and find out whether there was anyone alive in it. They even had to employ someone to stay there all night and listen for bells (thus the phrase 'graveyard shift').
 
I dont know what's worse. Waking up buried, or waking up just before you're about to be incinerated.

**** both of them. Im getting frozen.

GROUCHO!

I'm pretty sure thats bollocks and the great fact man has said so before about it on here.
 
when they buried sailers at sea, they stitched them inside their hammocks. before sending them over the side into the sea. The last stitch was thru the nose to make sure they were dead.
