would like to relocate the remains of my grandmother to a new mausoleum within 10 miles it its current location.....she was embalmed and placed in a non-gasketed, metal casket....top row, high and dry and in an interior location....
what might we expect to discover upon opening of the crypt??? she passed in 1987 so it has been over 20 years??? would the casket be in sufficient shape/strong enough to move??? or would it be better to keep crypt sealed and leave things alone????
according to my research, putrification should be complete and skeletonization should be the current state. question is, would the metal casket still be intact or rusted out??? would it be strong enough to withstand the move??? let me know.........don't want to discover/disturbe any "...gooey..."sic. messes...{as in "The Mummy"}
would appreciate your advice....
thanks.
please advise:
