The guy burried in it survived the long journey from Ireland on what were known as "coffin ships" and likely met his demise while trying to eek out a living as a construction worker in the I & M Canal.

I love your photos of the graveyard. Thanks for posting!
Nice bike, too.
And I agree, crypts really get to me. So do haunted-looking trees, which you posted.

when we were on vacation in Iowa we made the rounds to all the graves of my relatives, some are in old graveyards. I always look into the crypts just to see what I can see, one of these old ones I looked into had the marble that covers the tomb broken away in one section and you could see the casket inside. Of course the crypt was all closed and locked but you could still see through the window in the doors....I thought, wow, theres only 3/4 inch of wood between me and that body.......

I would prefer an above-ground tomb just in case, you know, they called my time of death a little too soon.

I could see being buried alive in a not so advanced country but I dont think it could happen in a more modern country, yes Adrian, with the all the body prep before a burial, it would be almost impossible to bury someone that wasnt dead, but, it did happen in the past. They even made coffins with pull strings and a bell that sat above the grave just in case back in the old days.

OOOoooh I shudder to think about being still alive somehow when they started embalming me!
I've actually had a nightmare like that. Tubes leading out of my arm and tubes leading into the other one. The fluid was creeping up slowly, and I couldn't scream! *shivers*

Thanks Beladona. I would really be creaped out if I could actualy see a coffin in a crypt. I really enjoy my visits to the Sag.
As for being burried alive, that's still a very prevelant fear, but the only problem is that when you die, the mortician drans all of your blood and replace it with embalming fluid. SO, if you weren't actualy dead before being embalmed, you most assuredly would be dead after being enbalmed.
Mike
