Casket Coffin
How long do caskets (coffins) last?
After being buried, how long does a coffin last until it begins to let worms etc in. Weird question, but Im bored lol. For example, in some films, Ive seen 100 year old coffins dug up, and theyre still in tact, doesnt seem feasable due to them being made of wood (unless you used a metal one)
It depends on the type of coffin and the conditions of burial.Wooden coffins buried in the ground will decay if the soil is particularly acidic and moist.Dry conditions can preserve the coffin and the remains,but dry rot can occur.It can take many.many,many years for wood to rot or decompose;it all depends on the type of wood used and the conditions of the soil. Cheap wood and a boggy,wet soil means rotting wood in about a year.And bear in mind,that these days,cement vaults are placed in the gravesite before a casket is,so the vault further protects casket and remains.
Metal caskets have their own specific issues;embalming a body does not prevent putrefaction,bloating,and gasses from forming.A metal casket must be interred under certain conditions for it to last indefinitely,though.An embalmed body can explode,causing embalming fluids and body fluids to flood the casket,cause metal corrosion and eventually destroy the metal.
Metal caskets are better at preserving bodies because of air-tight seals that don't let outside conditions in,but that can be a problem in itself. Unless an extremely well-done embalming method was used,the body will decay.If the metal casket is buried in a vault that is in a sunny,hot climate,the body will decay-putrefy--that is the body breaks down and eats itself up by forming gasses;gasses can explode.Not a pretty picture.
