That's why this and other such devices were invented :)

Jesus Christ:-)

[LadyCG]

One could develop Taphophobia reading this... ;)

[Patsy33]

I don't know whether to be happy or terrified!
Hope the poor woman goes on to have a few more years of satisfactory life.

I've chosen to be cremated so they'd better make bloody sure before they slide me out of view.

[LadyCG]

Her family must have had the fright of their lives.

[Old_Geezer]

They did, they had already read the will and divided the spoils !

[LadyCG]

That's a good point, O-G. If they strangled her in her coffin who would suspect a thing? ;)

[jourdain2]

My mum was so scared of this happening that she left instructions in her Will that a wrist vein had to be opened to ensure that she was indeed dead, before she could be buried.

[Old_Geezer]

A "knock knock" joke for you.

Knock knock
Who's there ?
Grandma.
Oh ***, stop the funeral !

It's not the cough that carries you off
It's the coffin they carry you off in

[LadyCG]

Haha :)

Happened to my mother after she had her appendix out many years ago. Pronounced dead, she was being wheeled down the corridor by the mortuary attendants when one of them thankfully saw the covers rising ever so slightly. Wheeled back to the ward and she lived another 70 years.

Thank goodness, andres.

Choux-- yes ,she was very lucky.
