Re: How to Dig a Grave
Remember when we talked about water problems in the other thread ? A grave flooded a while back and popped the side of the other grave right next to it ! It sucked as you already know.  |

Re: How to Dig a Grave
I imagine and I cannot tell you how much I don't want to be in that situation!!! Last week I opened a vault already opened by me 2 months ago, and I cannot describe to you how much the smell was disgusting!!!! You could smell from outside during the funeral that something was intensively rotting nearby!!! Anyway... it's my job but my poor nose was affected all day... |

Re: How to Dig a Grave
I imagine it was. That smell tends to stay embedded in your nostrils as well as your head for some time afterwards. I have seen detectives around here rub Vick's vapor rub under their noses to counter act the smell when we exhume a body for a murder case. They quickly found out that the only thing that happened was, the menthol set them ablaze, and still did not cover the smell ! |

Re: How to Dig a Grave
The human mind forms associations quickly, especially when stimulus is strong. The problem with trying to mask the stench of putrefaction with another scent is 1. It doesn't work. 2. The scent you tried to use as a mask will, itself, become nauseating to you because your mind associates it with being nauseated. |

Re: How to Dig a Grave
Thanks for the explanation of this thread. Also I am wondering what you did with the old bones? And why was the past body not in a coffin? My cousin and his dad dug graves in Nebraska and only once did some bones break out of a very old coffin that was not in the place it was supposed to have been buried and so was accidently broken open when they dug a new grave near it.

Re: How to Dig a Grave
When I lived in New Orleans I got a hint that things were different there as I drove by a cemetary. They use the graves over and over and over. They also have special vaults where after a year the bones are pushed to the back and fall down into a lower crypt that contains the bones of other earlier internments. No one much buries coffins there since the water table is so high.
