First you have to get a permit from the city then talk to the place where the burial took place they should be able to tell you.

A newly dead human being, or any other animal, will sink when placed in water.  After the gases of decomposition build up in the chest and abdomen, however, the body will inflate, rise like a hydrogen-filled balloon, and pop to the surface, sometimes dragging with it surprisingly heavy weights that a murderer might have thought sufficient to keep it down.   With the passage of time and further decomposition, however, the body cavities eventually rupture, the gas escapes, and the corpse goes down again, this time for good.\n\nThere is one notable exception:  sometimes, due to air caught in the clothing, a body will stay on the surface for several hours before sinking.

you should watch a cemetery for a few days, When someone dies the ground workers dig the hole the night before the person who hole it is gets buried. Wait until night time, bring body and shovel. Dig the hole deeper, put your dead body in, cover up. The next day they will put the other dead person's casket over it. NO WORRIES!:)

It may take several extra hours before your body is given to the funeral home/whatever (while the donation surgery is being arranged).\n\nA very small inconvenience compared to the lives you'll be saving.

As meatwad said, it depends a lot on where the bones are, and what they are exposed to after death.\n\nBuried underground and locked in a casket, bones could last for centuries or more.\n\nIn a shallow, acidic soil in a tropical climate, exposed to insects, constant rainfall, rodents, and fungi, the same skeleton could easily disintegrate to almost nothing in less than a year.\n\nLocked in frozen ground in the Arctic, or in a desert, or underneath layers of silt at the bottom a river, the bones could last for thousands of years.  In some cases, even long enough for the minerals in the bones to interact with percolating ground water and fossilize.  Fossilized bones, if they remain protected from erosion or mechanical damage can last millions or even hundreds of millions of years.

I don't know Texas laws, but in my state, Funeral Directors have seven days to fill out the death certificate,and get it to the Doctor or Coroner (or whoever the appropriate person is) to sign it. The Funeral Director then files it with the state department of vital records. Assuming that there are no problems with it, it is available for family members, etc. to get certified copies of within about ten working days. \nIt certainly seems that this Funeral Home is taking way too long to get the Death Certificate filed, and that is probably the violation they are currently appealing.\nI suggest you call the agency that found the Funeral Home in violation in the first place,and ask about the status of the case. Find out the name of the attorney handling the situation, and speak to that person. See if s/he can tell you when the Death Certificate will be filed, and when you may be able to get a certified copy. \nThis must be very frustrating. Certified copies of Death Certificates are needed to transfer property, settle insurance, and settle estates. Good luck with this.

It depends on the size of your hard drive, and the speed of your cpu, and how full your hard drive is, and also how badly fragmented the drive is. It can take as long as 1 to 2 days, or as short as 30 to 60 minutes. Patience is required as you have discovered.

actually they do.  I know down in New Orleans you have a tomb for I think it was a hundred years.  They cant put then underground because they are below sea level and the ground is too wet.  Here in Holland its twenty-five years unless you pay for the plot of land (really expensive.) Reason is because this is a really small country and a lot of people in it.  They just don't have the room for all of the people.   Once they remove the body for the plot to be reused they cremate the body.

If you are a relative, call the court house in Arizona, as for the probate office, or it may be a seperate court, indroduce yourself, and what kin you are to Mr.Nickerson.  A probate will usually takes anywhere from 2-6 months to be settled, sometimes longer if someone is contesting it.

On Ripley's Believe it or Not! last week, they showed a man in England who lived in a coffin for almost 6 months so he could set the world record. Your wish is certainly no crazier than his. But where would you get a coffin? Breaking into a funeral home, even just to sleep in a coffin, won't look good on your criminal record.

You would need to call the cemetary office where the body is buried OR the one you want to have the body reburied at.

Embalming affects the process, slowing it somewhat, but does not forestall it indefinitely. Embalmers typically pay the greatest attention to the parts of the body seen by mourners, such as the face and hands. The chemicals that are used in embalming will repel most insects, and slow the process of bacterial putrefaction (the embalming fluid acts to "fix" cellular proteins which means that they cannot act as a nutrient source for bacteria and it also kills the bacteria themselves), but will not preserve a corpse indefinitely. In sufficiently dry environments, an embalmed body may end up mummified and it is not uncommon for bodies in dry vaults to remain preserved to a viewable extent after decades, such as the murdered civil rights activist Medgar Evers. Another case of this would be the body of Lenin, who was kept submerged in a special tank of fluid for decades, almost perfectly preserved[citation needed]. Bodies submerged in peat bogs may become naturally "embalmed", arresting decomposition and resulting in a preserved specimen known as a bog body.\n\nThe time for the reduction of an embalmed body to be reduced to a skeleton varies greatly. It is important to note that when a body is decomposed before preparation embalming treatment can still be achieved (the arterial system is slow to decay) although it will not restore a natural appearance without extensive cosmetic and reconstruction work and is largely used to control the foul odours associated with decomposition.

hopefully you put the body in a plastic bag . . . and it was there for a short period of time (less than an hour).\n\nDon't know . . . never been in that situation . . . I could call Guido if you want.

an average human being start to decompose after 24-48 hours once the ATP supply of the muscles are depleted and the body begings to get rigor mortis. the time of decomposition greatly varies with where the body is lying and in which condition along with physical factors like temperature,humidity etc.

To get rid of half the sample takes 1000 years.  Now we have half the original sample.  To get rid of half of this sample takes another 1000 years.  Now we have 1/4 of the original sample.  This means that in 2000 years 3/4 of the original sample has decomposed.\n\nThis answer is assuming that the question is asking for the time for 3/4 of the original sample to decompose.

About 4 hours.\n\nYou're dribbling a bit there, you might want to get a tissue.
