How long does it take for an average human body to decompose after a conventional burial?
Having recently attended a churchyard burial for the first time, I was left wondering how long it would be before a grave plot could be re-used – assuming that regulations did not prohibit such a thing etc. Not that I’m at all ‘Green’, but it does seem to me that cremation is an awful waste of non-renewable energy and producer of CO2. But we’d soon run out of grave space if it can’t be re-used.
Depending upon the body – if it has been embalmed (they use formaldahyde) the body can stay pretty much intact and not decompose for years. If however the body has not been embalmed the body will start to decompose from the very hour of death and will continue to decompose withing a matter of weeks the body will have been broken down into a sort of biological soup – depending upon soil type. Sandy or clay, will determine how long the coffin stays intact. If it is very wet soil like clay the coffin will decay pretty quickly, if it is sandy soil the coffin can remain intact for years. Usually a grave is “leased” for 99 years and can then be re-used to bury new bodies.
