Biggest fear

[DerTod]

I've heard about people who died and then suddenly came back to life right before being buried or other people who died,were buried and then came back to life only to find themselves trapped in the coffin and then dying in a very agonizing way. Have you heard of such stories? This would be my biggest fear: to ingest N and be buried by my parents( they're christians so most likely won't respect my will to be incinerated) and then wake up in the coffin,scratching it in an attempt to get out. The worst possible nightmare.

Those stories tend to originate from third-world countries where the 'deceased' aren't really at all. Medical negligence, educational deficits and ignorance are all too common in countries like that.

Google "safety coffins". It was a thing in Victorian times.

That does sound terrifying, but I do not fear it personally, as I believe that when we die, we lose consciousness and that is it for us, we are gone. I have never heard about stories like that, but I would personally hope to be cremated. The thought of burial does sound awful even know I would not be alive to experience it.
