A bit of cemetery related history from the 1500's:
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. This combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a few days. Because those who found them didn't know if they were really dead, they would be prepared for burial and laid out on the kitchen table for a few days. The family would gather around, eat, drink, and wait to see if the person would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.
In those days, England being small, local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they dug up coffins, took the bones to a bone-house, and reused the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 was found to have scratch marks on the inside. They realized they had been burying people alive. Thus began the practice of tying a string on the wrist of the corpse, leading it through the coffin and up through the ground where it was tied to a bell.
Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift) to listen for the bell; thus someone could be saved by the bell or be considered to be a ... dead ringer...
Whoever said History was boring?
