HOW does this keep happening?? This is the second story I've heard about like this in just a couple months. I work in the funeral services industry and I cannot fathom how someone could get so far as to literally be IN THE CASKET while alive. There are just so many steps before it gets to that point. This is wild.

[@keiichin_6665]

Exactly! Usually from where I'm from, once declared dead, the corpse would be sent to a funeral home to get out the insides and blood to prep it for wake. 🤔

[@josephdonais4778]

This is called a "dead ringer" and origin of the term, to pull the string and ring the bell above the grave. Most people in the world are not embalmed and buried intact.

[@kathleenpayne384]

Exactly. I grew up hearing these stories from older relatives of people waking up during their funeral. Back in those days a lot of people died at home and were not embalmed.

There is no embalming in Latin America. The wake is very quick and the funeral happens usually in less than 24horas after passing. But I agree with you. How did that happen

[@lovelylipbonesouwwwwwwwolv2198]

This must have been so horrifying! A nightmare come to life, almost being buried alive!

[@BORN-to-Run]

THIS happens more often than you know. It happened not long ago in South America, where the 3-year old child, woke-up at her own funeral and told her mom she was thirsty, drank the water, and then laid back down and died again. I remember other incidences in other countries, but it's happened in the USA before too, but usually at the funeral home. It's more likely to happen in countries that declare death, and then bury right away the same day or the next day, like in Muslim countries. They don't have the knowledge to determine that the people are just in a coma and not really dead.

You sure won't be alive after embalming, and in autopsies, they remove all the organs, including the brain, to examine for cause of death, then they put them back in the body. The lady was never really dead. Very scary indeed.

A teenage girl choked on food and died. Out in the country at that time there was no electricity or refrigeration. A funeral could not be delayed because in the summer heat a body would begin dripping uncontrollably by the third day. Local residents were amazed at how well this corpse was holding up in its state of death, but attributed that to firm flesh in a young person. Such was the immense grief at the loss of their child that her parents decided to bury her with all of the heirloom jewelry that they would have gifted to her and which she would have inherited. Grave robbers dug up her coffin in the middle of the night, handled her body roughly and when the yoke of a boiled egg that she had choked on became dislodged, she regained consciousness and began to move and cry out.
