[edit]

All in all, this article is remarkably uninformative. Let's get some facts here. Images of headstones and graveyards also contribute little to an article about graves. To that end, at least, I've replaced them with a more relevant image. Rklawton 04:17, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Six Feet?

[edit]

I've been looking ALL OVER and can't find any reason as to why we're buried six feet under. It would make sense if it's something for us to keep our bodies from decaying and spreading diseases but I'd like to know for sure! I can't find anything online about it... --Steve 06:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'v always been told it's the maximum distance to avoid a rotting corpse from "leaking" smells from the ground. 170.65.188.1 (talk) 05:58, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should be six feet under cause no one likes seeing the rotting carcass of someone in the dirt they stand on. Colin Marquart, age 11, 11/1/08

Move proposal

[edit]

I feel that this meaning is the common-sense primary meaning of the word "Grave", and have proposed at Talk:Grave that this page be moved to that title. Cheers! bd2412 T 17:35, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
