I buried my father in 2007 and received a call from the cemetery saying that they were unable to locate the body and then another call back saying that they have finally found him and needed to move him. So I had to be there for the exhuming and reburial which was a nightmare. They exhumed the vault took it under an oak tree, proceeded to open the vault to view the casket…stupid me went running over to the casket to wipe off the water which was not water at all but body fluid. I was covered in a smell that I will never forget. They were going to put the casket in another vault and reseal for burial but, that was not going to happen because as soon as they put straps on the casket to lift it out of the vault the bottom of the casket started to fall apart. I can’t believe that the casket would not hold up longer than it did. My father being a fallen firefighter….this was such a disgrace 🙁 I will never remember him they way I did when we first buried him only remembering the aweful smell and nightmares that this now gives me. I am most concerned about everyone that was there that day…being exposed to body fluids and particles in the air. No one was protected with gloves or masks…my mother was hospitalized for bronchial pneumonia a few days later. I don’t think that I could be buried in a casket after going through this…not that I would even know when I die..but, for my loved ones sake, I would say cremate me!
