Decomposition of a Properly Buried Corpse

by Pamela
(USA)

I would like to know what condition an exhumed body/corpse should be in after 2 years and 9 months if they were properly embalmed and their casket sealed in a vault that was tested to be waterproof and air tight.


This is a very personal and important question for me and I would deeply appreciate any expert answers or personal experiences that might shed some light on a question. I can't seem to get answered by the local funeral directors or vault company.
