Is anyone aware of any customs that involve placing an unfired bullet on someone's grave?

It could be a number of things...\n\n1. Maybe your brother saved someones life in the war, and just wanted to say thank you\n\n2. Maybe someone wanted to commit suicide and thought of your brother and thus didnt\n\n3. Maybe it is some guy your brother knews lucky charm\n\n4. Maybe its a symbol saying remeber or I havent forgotten.\n\nIt could also be a spiritual sign from your brother to you. Stranger things have happend. Keep your eyes peeled maybe hes trying to talk to you.\n\nHeidi\n\n3.

As morbid as this seems, many grave yards and towns have listings of everyone online and where their plots are.  Most of the time you have to have a membership to a place like ancestry.com.  If you know where he's buried or the funeral home where he was, they have records and can tell you where he was sent for burial.  I found my husband's grandfather by looking up his obituary, calling the funeral home and asking where they sent him.  They were happy to tell me.

Yes. That is, if you give the mortitians underwear to put on the corpse. \n\nMy mother was wearing a thong.

Dont know exactly, but something to do with burying

Take the property address and got the county recorder's office to do the research.  You should be able to find out there if it is in fact private property.  Just because something is open to the public doesn't make it public property.  Besides, trying to gather signatures on at a cemetery were people have come to grieve and bury their dead is rude and disrespectful.

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!:)

That's probably not a good idea...I knew someone personally who was killed that way. Just be careful and bring someone with you, or at least a phone. Good luck.

Ask the undertakers/funeral managers...they should know.

There is an on line Ouija board for the film Corpse Bride. You can ask it whatever you want.\n\nhttp://www.askthedead.com/

I'm sure its some age old tradition (like putting the riding boots on backwards on a horse for the death of an officer or other highly ranked/respected official)

the mexican version of halloween...dia de los muertos...but their customs are extremely different...instead they celebrate their dead and invite them back for one night and leave all their favorites out for them or something like that...if you are in school, ask your spanish teacher...they may know...

Due to the many laws that govern burial at sea, ashes have to be buried at least 3 miles out and uncremated remains need to be carried even farther out.  Government papers need to be arranged by the ship (nothing can be placed in the ocean without government permission), and the ship also needs to be paid, so it's seldom free (except in the case where veterans benefits contribute)\n\nhttp://www.naturespassage.com/services.php\nhttp://www.seaservices.com/q&a.htm#environment

You kill a person unintentionally. The murder is not planned.

It has to be premeditated..and they must be killed in order to change something or send a message. If their death makes a difference publically it is assassination.

Yeah. I'm not to far from my .357 revolver. Just the thing I would want if some guy who died 2000 years ago came back to life. I've always wanted to do a bit of zombie hunting. Or actually, since he's thousands of years dead, he would fall more into the "mummy" category, huh? \n\nAhh, either way, if his dead carcass comes back trying to eat MY brains i've got a 158 grain .357 hollowpoint with his name on it. Try to eat MY brains will you zombie scum? BLAM!

I saw a program on funeral practices the other day. The preserving of bodies is centuries old but in the U.S. the Civil War was pivotal in its use of embalming-it preserved the remains of soldiers so they could be shipped home. Abraham Lincoln's funeral was key in introducing embalming on a wide scale. More info:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embalming
