WHY DEAD BODIES ARE BURIED SIX FEET BELOW THE GROUND

There are some occurrences that are extremely common in our immediate environment, but we tend to accept them as typical. It's likely that the majority of us have been present at funerals and witnessed the process of grave excavation firsthand. As a result of the fact that it is practiced in virtually every country on the planet, some people consider it to be a culture. Have you ever given any thought to the question of why humans are often buried at a depth of six feet below the ground? In the event that you haven't heard them before, I'm going to explain some of the reasons why people are buried beneath a yard of dirt today.


1 It averts the possibility of the casket being carried away by the water.

One of the reasons why individuals are buried underground six feet deep is because of this. There are times when we consistently receive persistently heavy rain, which can lead to soil erosion. There is a possibility that the casket will be carried away by the moving water if the deceased person is buried more than three feet underground. And if the cemetery is dug a little deeper, there won't be any chance that the casket will be carried away by the water.

2 It stops the spread of diseases that are easily contagious.

There are several infectious diseases that pose a significant threat to human health and are capable of being passed from one individual to another. For example coronavirus and pneumonic plaques. Other animals will not be able to unearth the diseased body if it is buried at a depth of six feet below the surface of the ground. This will prevent the disease from spreading to other animals.

3. It eliminates the possibility of the casket being stolen.

This is yet another significant factor that contributes to the practice of burying bodies at a depth of six feet. There are some people in this world who will never leave a grave without taking the casket with them and using it for their own nefarious purposes. If you bury the dead deeper, it will be more difficult for them to access them, which will assist reduce the number of instances of theft.

How about the devil religion from Saudi Arabia that bury their dead in 3 feet?

Where I live has christians and considerable numbers of Muslims.

One time a mad pig from the Christian side dug out a freshly buried corpse and pleasurably had a hearty meal and left skeleton as leftovers.

The Muslim community were shocked to her ancient foundations and utterly discombobulated. One could see them going hysterical and hurling expletives and swore to viciously retaliate... How they wanted to pull that off, yours sincerely don't know.

They struck the drum of war, fanned the embers of trouble and drew their swords for blood.

...

At the end nothing happened. Call it 'initial gra gra" and you're right.

They knew they'd be crushed into bits if they attacked the Christians on such flimsy ground.

The Christians owns the community.

Since then they learned to bury their deceased more deeper. The fear of pigs is the beginning of wisdom.

Your god Jesus worshipped He Whom the Muslims worships. Your display picture has betrayed your spiritual fantasy. Shake your ass on, nympho. Those who shepherd your "business centres" have you on unbreakable leash.
And "I hate (a fellow human being)" is your name. You're lost, paranoid Trinitheist.
you just prove to be an anti Christ, a member of the evil religion from Saudi Arabia but hellll awaits you.

On your last day on earth you'll know

You are not harming anyone but your own self. Haters of Islam need to understand that Islam is not religion of Arab. It is religion for everyone. When you embraces Islam, you become part of family no matter where you are. I admire that I’m part of that religion who represents every culture and race
