Today no one is buried alive, but a 150 years ago that wasn't so true. I don't know exact numbers, but I do know it was a real fear people had. There were caskets sold with bells attached so if they were buried they could ring a bell above ground. Edgar Allen Poe was so afraid of this he had a special casket made and left instructions with people about what to do.
