Geocache Description:


Back in the "Good Old Days", when folks died, they were placed in a room and the living sat around to see if they were really dead. This was called a "Wake", in case the deceased "woke" up. When the cemeteries got full, they would dig up the old graves and put the bones on a bone pile, and bury the new one. Sometimes, they would see scratches all over the inside of the coffin, proving that they had indeed been burying some people still alive. To fix this problem, a string was attached to the deceased wrist, and attached to a bell above ground. It was the job of the grounds keeper to listen for a bell so they could rescue them if they came back to life. This was called a "dead ringer". Since this is near a cemetery, I have dedicated this cache to all the dead ringers of the past.

This should be an easy one, so no hints are given.
If you take something, please replace it with something of equal value.
