Greeks bury poor woman alive according to our rabble rousing Daily Mail:

A rather better class of balanced reporting here:

Every morning the soul is once again as good as new, and again one offers it to one's brothers & sisters in life.

It's not beyond possibility. Read this Wiki about fear of being buried alive.

Showing the article to my family at the weekend, one of my daughters knew that the Victorians were often buried with a bell to ring, just in case.
Wasn't it as recent as about 1830 when someone won an international medical competition with prize...how to tell when someone is dead.
Like my mother said, I say "Burn me at the bottom of the garden."

Two New Jersey hunters are walking through the woods. Suddenly, one of them collapses and is not breathing. The other whips out his cell phone and calls 911. “My friend is dead!” he tells the operator. She says, “Take it easy, I can help you. First we need to make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence and she hears a gunshot. The man comes back on the line. “OK. Now what?”
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?
