Now that's just crazy! I bet when she woke up screaming it scared the S&*# out of a lot of people.

Don't they embalm people before they bury them there?
Are we being punked?
Did they finish the services after that?

Ashes to ashes... WTF! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

(20 minutes of kaos)

Ashes to ashes....for real this time.

WEIRD! But, I'd bet that is not the first time such a thing has happened.

Imagine if she woke up after burial. Anyone read Edgar Allen Poe? It's one of the reasons I want to be cremated.

The origin of having a 'wake' that lasted three days before burial was to avoid burying people who were alive but unresponsive, before embalming was common.

So, you would rather wake up in the oven?

Isn't that also where the phrase, "Saved by the bell" comes from? I read that in the old days they would tie a string to the arm of the person when they buried them. The string was then attachd to a bell that was on top of the tombstone. So if the person woke up buried they'd freak out and pull the string and you'd hear the bell ringing in the cemetery. Don't know if that's true but sounds just crazy enough to be real.

I thought that was the phrase, "Dead Ringer."
Saved by the Bell might have something to do with boxing.

That happened to me once.....my honeymoon, she followed me home.

People get embalmed before they get buried. I call foul! Noone will wake up when they're full of embalming fluid.
