Oldtimer said:Reminds me of when I was at one coroner school and looking at pictures of bodies that were exhumed years later for an autopsy or further investigation....Anyway we began noticing that some of the black folks were almost in the same condition as when the body had been buried 15-20 years before....Fantastically preserved....
One of the morticians from the south explained it to us.... In many of the black communities they always want an expensive casket and big funeral- but often don't have the money up front to pay--so the morticians wouldn't let go of the body and the unpaid for casket until they gathered the money- which sometimes took a week or two or more-- so the morticians did any extra good job with the embalming since they might have the body lying around for weeks/months before the funeral and burial...
