A coffin is the last place a dignified person will call home until the Sun turns red and vaporizes the Earth. This does not include you. You will most likely be wrapped in linen with the name John Doe number 46782, thrown into a mass grave for the Homeless, covered in lime and forgotten once you've been covered by dirt.

Undertakers usually try to make a distinction between coffins and caskets even though the American lexicon allows for the two to be used interchangeably. An undertaker will try to tell you that a coffin has 6 sides and is pretty much a pine wood box while a casket is more rectangular and tries to convince they buyer that the person that they're burying that they were loved because caskets are made from finer materials while avoiding the truth that the difference is around $2,000.

Dying

Dying is when God gives you Life's big Ban Hammer.

The next few days, or weeks, all depend on how loved you were. If you have friends and family your decaying Meat Suit will be found, usually in a a few hours or a day.

On the other hand, you most likely won't be found until the rent of your hotel room is over due and the manager kicks in your door, while holding a baseball bat, to what can only be called the worst stink on earth.

Ground Burial

Whether you are placed in an underground vault or just tossed in the dirt, the decay process stays the same.

Ground burial differs from the vault, as you will be tossed into a Pauper's Hole while people that had family that loved them will be placed in a coffin.

Without and underground vault or above ground vault, the decay process is relatively the same as the Pauper's except that people loved them enough to have them intered in a place that could be found. With a coffin, the weight of the dirt and machines being moved over the grave site will break open the coffin and allow it to be exposed to the elements like water from the rain seeping down through the ground and the wonderful promise of the worms coming and eating your flesh.

It takes about 2 to 3 days for the worms to come, time for this usually depends on whether the body was embalmed or not. The worms sit there waiting for the body to putifry, this is when your body starts to smell bad, if you're an Animu fanboi, you were probably are at this stage of stench. What comes next is your body starts to bloat and break open - allowing the worms in and letting the real feast begin. When it begins, the worms and other ground dwellers move in from the outside to the inside and feast on your body's organs as it begins its active decay. This is when your body will begin to turn black and liquefy. (In in death we are all niggers). This all Depends on moisture level, oxygen saturation, type of soil and temperature.

Bodies buried in the Arctic or the Desert will usually be the least decayed due to hardly any decomposition because the Arctic is akin to putting a steak in the freezer and the desert like making beef jerky.

Burial In A Vault

 

A Burial vault is a concrete box that a coffin is placed in that the corporations want you to believe is to allow additional protection for the body and coffin when it is actually only used when the family is afraid of their loved ones coming back as a Vampire or a Zombie.

What it comes down to is that Cemeteries don't want to pay a person to go around the Cemetery and filling in the grave sites as the ground settles onto the coffin.

Their job, pretty much, is to keep the coffin dry inside from rain water seeping through the ground and keeping the bugs out.

If you don't want the worms eating through your eyes and feasting on your brain, the median cost for one is $5,000.

If you don't want to be a rotting husk in the ground, start looking to get burial insurance because a caskets cost, on average $3,500, the burial plot averages $2,500, A headstone costs, on average $3,000 - not including lettering and about $3,500 for viewing and funeral costs so $17,500.
