Actually, sealing up our remains in airtight caskets and/or vaults has this effect anyway. :eek:

 

What you should know about exploding caskets

Putting dead people in buildings was never smart engineering. Mausoleum burial began as the prerogative of the powerful, providing the perception of a dignified end to a life of esteem. The majesty of the Taj Mahal and the wonder of the Egyptian pyramids carried the idea into the 20th Century. Now heavily marketed to ordinary Americans as the cleaner and classier alternative to six feet under, community mausoleums – with their rows of concrete vaults — appeal to grieving relatives grossed out at the thought of bugs, water and worms mingling with their loved ones’ remains.

 

But dead bodies have a tendency to rot, and when they do so above ground, the consequences are – to put it nicely — unpleasant. Separating the living from the dead with nothing more than a thin concrete wall was destined to fail and the funeral industry is making money off public ignorance. Funeral homes push pricey caskets for above-ground burials that ultimately exacerbate mausoleums’ inherent flaw.

 

You’ve never heard of exploding casket syndrome (ask your mortician if it’s right for you), but funeral directors and cemetery operators have. They sell so-called “protective” or “sealer” caskets at a premium worth hundreds of dollars each, with the promise that they’ll keep out air and moisture that — they would have you believe — cause bodies to rapidly deteriorate. Like Tupperware for the dead, they “

” with a rubber gasket.

 

But, in reality, you can’t protect a corpse from itself. While you’re insulating grandma from the outside air, she could be stewing in her own fluids, turning into a slurry from the work of anaerobic bacteria. When the weather turns warm, in some cases, that sealed casket becomes a pressure cooker and bursts from accumulated gases and fluids of the decomposing body. The next time relatives visit grandma, they could find her rotting remains oozing from her tomb in the form of a nauseating thick fluid...

DEAD BODY EXPLODES IN FUNERAL HOME

By Frank Lake on March 30, 2012

The corpse blew a casket!

 

Family members who gather at a Texas funeral home to mourn the death of 38-year-old Robert Cavazos Jr. reeled in horror when the dead man’s corpse suddenly exploded, according to their shocking lawsuit.

 

The force of the blast ripped open Cavazos’ cement-lined coffin and filled the funeral home in Raymondville, Texas with “a horrendous, foul oder,” according to Maria Perez, the family’s attorney.

 

The lawyer said Cavazos’ body exploded because it was not embalmed and gases formed within the corpse as the decomposition process occurred.

“Robert’s 82-year-old mother, Theresa, and about 20 mourners were at the funeral home on a Sunday morning in a room with the casket when they hear a loud explosion and smelled a real foul stench,” Miss Perez told WWN.

 

“They could see the body trhough the cracked casket and saw that Robert had been buried in his underwear,” Miss Perez said.

 

“They still have nightmares!”

The family’s anguishing experience began when Cavazoss, who was divorced and lived with his mother, died of natural causes in his sleep.

 

Cavazos’ elderly mom and 18-year-old son were in the room when employees of Duddleston Funeral Home came for the body of the six-foot-four, 380-pound man.

 

“James Duddleston said they couldn’t get their gurney through the doorway so he called in some volunteer firemen and two police officers, ‘ Miss Perez said. They pt two blankets on the floor then rolled the body out of bed and dumped it onto the floor t. They grabbed the blankets and held his arms and dragged him trough the house as his mother and son watched. It was highly offensive.

 

According to Miss Perez the family was later told by funeral home officials that “embalming Robert wouldn’t do any good because he was so large they could also save $450 that way.”

Several hours after Cavzos corpse exploded mourners stood in front of Dudleston Funeral home watching in disbelief as workers used a crane to hoist the dead a’s body and casket onto the back of a flat-bed truck fort the ride to the cemetery, Miss Perez said.

 

The attorney filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Cavazos family demanding $1 million in damages.

 

Funderal parlor officials have denied any negligence in the case.
