What does a shallow grave mean?
A "shallow grave" is informally used to indicate any kind of illicit grave dug by an individual. It is especially applied to graves that are just a few inches deep, although might sometimes be used for a grave of a couple feet, even where that might fulfill local burial requirements. There is a popular conception that a grave should be at least six feet deep, a perception which seems to stem from London's Great Plague in 1665. During the Great Plague, London's mayor was said to have required all burials to be at least six feet deep to prevent any chance of the spread of disease. By this standard, many legal burials might be called "shallow." For example, California requires that a grave allow eighteen inches of dirt above the coffin. Given the use of concrete liners, heavy coffins and chemical embalming, there is very little health requirement for a deep burial. The "shallow grave" is more an indication of a hasty, furtive burial than the actual depth of the grave.

Why are graves berried 6 feet?
Because of grave robbers, and also there was a silly old legend people made up a long time ago. There was a 6 year old child named Eliza that had died from an unusual disease she always had something to do with the number six. One day they were digging up her grave and they heard her speak to them "6 feet deep not the big not that small from now on 6 feet deep" from then on they believed you had to dig it 6 feet deep. Of course I don't believe that but there are a lot of bugs that can eat away at graves and also grave robbers that might try to rob precious jewels so it would take them longer to dig it up and hopefully while they are digging they get caught.
