How come, when people are buried in churches or chapels, there are no perceivable decomposition gases?

I don’t know if they are embalmed today – they probably are. …But in the good old days, they weren’t. And naturally it had a very pungent odour over time.
Only the (very) rich and powerful were buried inside the church though… Hence the expression “stinking rich”.
