All those bones were sealed in the crypts until some ghouls dragged them all out to search for valuables, grab the skulls and gold teeth, etc.. Somebody may still come back for the few that are still sealed, no telling.

And there you have it. Some ghoulish creepo lost his chopper-popper no doubt. What some folks will do for a buck, huh?

My thoughts also. I think some folks will pay good money for skulls too. There's a market for 'em.

There's '42 then. What was the latest date seen?

It seems like the only dead people that get any respect here in the states are the guys on our money.

Looks like 6 more that the ghouls haven't hit yet.

I imagine it was a search for gold teeth, jewelry, and other artifacts of value. I wouldn't have the stomach for it, but some folks obviously do. And yes, they are thinking the deceased "won't be needing that any more", and they grab it. No skulls either. Some folks like those too. There's some sick puppies wandering around.

*shudders* That's some creepy sht there boy! I can only guess that vandals opened some of those up. Who the hell would do THAT?! White punks on dope? (The Tubes, 1975)

Those two are still kicking to get out. The coffins are not rotted enough yet.

Zombie snacks.

Seems that large corporations now own many of the USA cemeteries. It's the "death care industry". SCI, Stewart, Carriage Services, Keystone. Many are municipal and church owned. Varies. I imagine the treatment of the graves depends on who is still alive to give a crap. No known descendents? No lawsuits. Brick the thing up and forget about 'em I guess.

When I'm gone, just throw me off my deck into the woods. The possums and buzzards will eat me. No need for "respect". Trust me, I'm not going to care at that point, and neither will anyone else. :oD

You may not know how accurate you are Prancer. Dead bodies diseased with black plague and such things were indeed catapulted into walled cities and fortresses during a siege. I would imagine the guys running the catapult were then next.

There seems to be an assumption that people were breaking IN and had accessed graves in some way. The reality is zombies were breaking OUT.

And it is. Jeff's photostream shows that with all the copper gnawed out of it. (Wish I could edit my comments.) Thanks for all the links and historical info, it's great see what these places used to be and how they worked!
