I mean, if one just dies on the ground, the bugs and animals and smaller organisms will consume it. But if it’s isolated in a coffin, does it just, mummify?
In: Biology
depends how much embalming fluid there is in their veins. generally, after 10 years there’s a lot of liquid in there, recognizable skin and bones lots of hair and a dank smell. if the coffin leaks and doesn’t flood they get leathery but if it collapses its usually just dirt and bones. i woked at a cemetery. people move and a lot of times they want loved ones exhumed and cremated. the dead travel better as ashes. one time we dug up a teenaged overdose victim from the 70s. her father was retiring to California and wanted her near. she was perfectly preserved and still beautiful.
