It all started with the plague: The origins of
“six feet under” come from a 1665
outbreak in England. As the disease swept
the country, the mayor of London literally
laid down the law about how to deal with
the bodies to avoid further infections. Among his specifications—made in “Orders
Conceived and Published by the Lord Major
and Aldermen of the City of London,
Concerning the Infection of the Plague”—
was that “all the graves shall be at least six
feet deep.” The law eventually fell out of favor both in
England and its colonies. Modern American
burial laws vary from state to state, though
many states simply require a minimum of 18
inches of soil on top of the casket or burial
vault (or two feet of soil if the body is not enclosed in anything). Given an 18-inch dirt
buffer and the height of the average casket
(which, based on the ones I just looked at,
appears to be approximately 30 inches), a
grave as shallow as four feet would be fine. A typical modern burial involves a body
pumped full of chemical preservatives
sealed inside a sturdy metal casket, which is
itself sealed inside a steel or cement burial
vault. It’s less of a hospitable environment
for microbes than the grave used to be. For untypical burials, though—where the body
isn’t embalmed, a vault isn’t used, or the
casket is wood instead of metal or is
foregone entirely—even these less strict
burial standards provide a measure of
safety and comfort. Without any protection, and subjected to a few years of soil erosion,
the bones of the dearly departed could
inconveniently and unexpectedly surface or
get too close to the living, scaring people and acting as disease vectors. The minimum depth helps keep the dead down where
they belong.
