Why are caskets buried 6 feet into the ground?

They are buried so deep so that,no one can dig up the body.The Grave diggers dont want people stealing anyones body.6 feet is too deep for many people to go and get out of the grave.Also,when a flood,hurricanne,or something else like that happens,the ground gets flooded.Once the ground at a cemetary is flooded,the bodies will float up to the top and be floating around everywhere.That is gross.That happened in Hurricane Katrina.If these things happened,it would not only be sad and gross,but disrespectful to the family of that person and disrespectful to the dead.Also the grave diggers would have done all that work for nothing.That is why when you get buried,your body gets buried six feet.Also,someday if the dead come back to life,it will be hard for them to get out.

It means you get the right to burial, but do NOT own the land.  After a certain period of time, the land could be used for womething else, at the least, it wont be maintained after it has filled up.

This procedure is definitly legal in Tennessee.My opinion there's nothing wrong with this being someone's request.And appx.6,000 dollars cheaper,and that's alot of money to be buried, once buried it will totally rot away.If this is what you want I say go for it.JESUS was buried that way.Are we any better?

I think it takes about 3-4 hours for cremation. Then there's bone still left to be ground up. YUCK. but that's the way I'm going ~~~

6 feet is the minimum depth.  This is done to keep the critters from digging you back up and have you as a little snack.

Ok...a casket can be cremated with a body. But I always thought it was kind of silly, considering they arent cheap. \nOur crematory used cardboard boxes...we would fold them up around the deceadent. The plastic bags are wrapped around the body for transportation and for "waiting" in the cooler. If the person is bagged we burn the bag with them. \nThey have "rental" caskets that have the "liner" (particle board) . They cover the board with satin to give it a nice look. When the service is done they remove the liner, and then it is transported to the crematory.\nThe only time we remove a deceadent from a casket is if said casket is metal. Then we CAN NOT reuse the casket. So we generally beat it with a sledge hammer and put it out for proper disposal.\nI saw a 14, 000 dollar casket thrown into the retort once. The chambers are quite big, so generally the size doesnt matter. But there is a lot of wood ash in the cremains, which gives them a black/grey tint.

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.

Finally, a believer!\n\nI have extensive plans to pass new legislation that will require all new coffins to be air tight and be filled with cement, thus holding the zombie hoard inside of their resting places. Older graves will also be safeguarded with injected cement.\n\nI believe there will come a day when we can all live without fences.

The standard practice is for the remains to be returned to the grieving family. Beforehand, an individual soldier may make other arrangements (during Vietnam, one Navy pilot requested to be buried at sea if he was killed in action).\n\nA detail is assigned to assist at the funeral. A friend of mine was killed in Iraq, and at her wake there was an active duty sergeant assisting.

I don't, when your dead, your dead.  I cannot understand why people spend thousands of dollars to bury people in expensive coffins when we all rot anyway.  I just want to be cremated and flush my ashes down the toilet and go out and have a drink and remember what great times you had when I was there.

Many cemeteries are using Mausoleums now-------saves space as you can build on top of each other.  It is no more well preserved than a ground burial in a coffin and vault.

Actually, there are a few funeral homes that will do it but they have to be done under strict regulations.\n"In such cases, the funeral home must follow strict federal regulations for modifying the casket to make sure the lid doesn't pop open or the coffin bob around in the water.\n\nThe casket must be weighted with 100 pounds of ballast (rocks or sandbags are most commonly used) and 12 6-inch holes must be drilled into the lid and bottom, allowing water to seep in as further counterweight. The casket then must be sealed with five metal shipping bands. "

The simple answer is they in their own mind are content not giving any thought to the fact it could be seen as better. Too bad they don't consider the fact there are lots of graves and no one has missed a permanent visit there. most just accept today and don't want to think of tomorrow eventhough it is very clear when tomorrow is seen it is today.
