Probably some years after the Second World War. Before that, usually rather expensive glass sealer caskets were used if a "protective" casket was requested. After the war, the Batesville Casket Company pioneered the use of reasonably priced gasket sealer caskets.

Can maggots get into caskets?

Yes, maggots can get into caskets, particularly if the casket is not sealed properly. If there are any openings or if the casket is compromised due to decay or damage, insects can access the body and lay eggs, leading to maggot infestations. However, well-sealed caskets and burial practices are designed to prevent this from occurring.


Why do coffins have to be nailed down?

Only those caskets are air (and water) tight which are "sealer" caskets, meaning that they are provided with a rubber like sealing gasket between the lid and the base of the caskets. Usually only metal caskets can be sealer caskets.

Are coffins placed in concrete containers before burial?

Not always and never in countries where the graves are used over again. In the US the practice of placing the caskets in concrete (or metal) containers is very common although there is no law requiring it. Many cemeteries demand grave liners or burial vaults (hermetically sealed grave liners) to prevent the grave from caving in when heavy machinery is used on the lawn or when wooden caskets deteriorate.

Is the body of Pope John XXIII incorrupt?

No. It's true that his body has been preserved pretty well, but the Catholic Church does not consider it to be incorrupt in the sense that it is a miracle. His body had been thoroughly embalmed before burial and was sealed in a series of caskets and these factors prevented decomposition.
