Strange Cargo

31 October.—Still hurrying along. The day has come, and Godalming is sleeping. I am on watch. The morning is bitterly cold; the furnace heat is grateful, though we have heavy fur coats. As yet we have passed only a few open boats, but none of them had on board any box or package of anything like the size of the one we seek. The men were scared every time we turned our electric lamp on them, and fell on their knees and prayed.

Exhumed

Exhuming a body depends on the local permit process and cemetery fees. The fee to open and close the grave is normally $1,000 each. The excavation typically requires manual labor and machinery. This may add costs. If necessary, you must dispose of the old casket and purchase a new one for transportation. Transferring the remains requires the services of a funeral director, which costs about $1,000 sometimes more, based on hourly rates.

Permits are also required to exhume a body and fees vary based on location. The final cost being the re-burial of the body. At the new resting place the loved ones will have to either transport the headstone or purchase a new one which can add up quite a bit for the total cost. Together, these costs tend to range between $5,000 and $15,000.

Graverobber Unholy Rye

CHECK OUT THE COMMENTS SECTION FOR A REVIEW!

Made with maple from trees grown among Colonial-era graves.  

"Graverobber is not just a wickedly delicious spirit, but it also tells a haunting story about tapping graveyard maples, a process that has long been feared for risk of disturbing the dead and is taboo in New England," said Steven Grasse, CEO and founder of Tamworth Distilling and Art in the Age.


Thanks, Wren!

There's a 'one foot in the grave' joke here somewhere.
