Flying for 12 hours with a corpse
Paxing All Over The World
Thank you Mark in CA, there is one item on that list that I have never heard about - so I shall be asking my funeral friends!
With regards to digestion, the action of the juices and chemicals does continue, but obviously the action of peristalsis stops immediately. The bloating that occurs is due to the build up of gases however, that depends on the state of health of the individual at death and what they have eaten in the last 24 hours. For many folks that will be practically nothing. My father, as it happens, had just had a good lunch when his heart stopped!

Anyone else growing slightly weary of the more priapic aspects of all this?

A friend of mine did some part-time work at a funeral home.One elderly man 'groaned' and sat bulk up-right.It was the last time she worked there.After death it is amazing the number of men who do ejaculate.I was working with the Royal Coast Guard and had to retrieve 2 men who had drowned and yep, there they were in 'full-glory'.

That makes sense martinmax69 I read that when the actor Errol Flynn died he was buried in a pyramid shaped coffin.
Having said that (open to all) how long does it take for the 'stiffly' to go flaccid? Surely it would not be respectable having a 'viewing' with the shroud raised a number of inches at the mid body point.
