I am more convinced now cremation is the way to go... less chance of being buried alive.. 😮
I know they do various things to the body before cremation so they should certainly be 100% certain one is dead before they start the actual cremation. So no chance of being burned while alive either. Or maybe I should check http://www.snopes.com on that as well... 😮

I remember reading about the bell system!! I think that was where the saying saved by the bell originally came from!

ok so I may be morbid by saying this but I couldn't help but give a chuckle thinking of some of the people's reactions to the people they thought were dead getting up again. Like the one with the guy that revived hearing his favorite hymn and singing along....from in the coffin....during the funeral ceremony. 😮

In america there are mausoleums which have built in phone systems so if the so called "passed on" awakes, they can phone out. There has been two calls made from mausoleum phones, the source of which was never known, and blamed on bugs in the system.
In both cases they dispatched a EMT to the site and police, the mausoleums were sealed shut and the tombs showed no signs of disturbance.

I don't think a person could be buried a live now days. I know a guy who is a mortician and I have a friend who runs the cemetery near here.
What they do now days to keep this from happening is drain the blood in the funeral home and then use embalming fluid.
There are however a few times they were getting ready to drain the blood from people when they realized they had a heartbeat again.
Also the guy I know talks about how the dead really do move. Its the muscle's contracting and he said he never did get use to it.
I wouldn't either.. *shivers*
