@glanmorenhs: Glanmore Presents Historic Inventions, The Coffin Bell. There have been numerous iterations of this style of safety device. The idea is to have a bell, alarm or flag that is triggered from inside the coffin. This was to help alleviate the fear of being buried alive. #nopestalgia #historicinventions #victorianera #History

When I die, I want a bell installed next to my grave, set to ring every anniversary of my death.

Interesting fact, here in uk some larger graveyards also had a night watchman, his job was to be there to listen for these bells and help if one did go off and also prevent grave robberies which were common at the time

Here in Mexico (where the coffin bell never caught), legend has it that comedian Joaquín Pardavé was supposedly buried alive by mistake, a fear he held for years. I recall this weird invention from a Reader's Digest de México book called "Verdades y Mentiras" (Reader's Digest's Truths and Lies).
