Aggregate Death
Sometimes Mausoleums Leak. Here’s an explanation why.
Mausoleums rarely leak. There’s a number of safe-guards that keep leakage from spilling out. But, every once in a while this happens:

There’s a number of reasons why mausoleums could leak. Here are two of the more prevalent reasons.
One. Casket-failure.
Casket-failure is when the dead begin to putrefy, and the liquid (usually mixed with corrosive embalming fluid) emits from their bodies, the casket rusts out from the inside, causing the liquid to run out from the mausoleum.
Two. The “exploding casket”
When sealed caskets with no ventilation experience an accumulation of gases emitted from the decomposing body the buildup of those gases sometimes becomes so intense and pressurized that the casket belches gases and liquids. The casket doesn’t explode like a balloon; but it can — in some circumstances — expel parts of its contents. There *should* be some type of liner that catches the casket belches … but sometimes (as in the above example) there isn’t a liner.
Biodegradable Pebble-shaped coffins
Pebble-shaped coffins, made from sculpted birch by artist Davina Kemble. Each Pebblewood coffin is hand crafted from Birch Ply and is fully biodegradable and equally suited for traditional or woodland burials, or cremation. They have concealed handles so they can be lowered into a grave and are fully biodegradable. They are lined with linen and come in a variety of sizes. A pebble urn is also available.
Stupid “You’re going to die” Joke
Millie accompanied her husband Maurice to the doctor’s office. After he had given Maurice a full checkup, the doctor called Millie into his office alone. The doctor said, “Maurice is suffering from a serious disease brought on by extreme stress. If you don’t do the following, your husband will die:
Each morning, wake him up gently with a big kiss, then fix him a healthy breakfast. Be pleasant at all time and make sure he is always in a good mood. Cook him only his favorite meals and allow him to relax after eating. Don’t burden him with any chores, and don’t discuss your problems with him; it will only make his stress worse. Don’t argue with him, even if he criticizes you or makes fun of you. Try to relax him in the evening by giving him massages. Encourage him to watch all the sports he can on TV, even if it means missing your favorite programs. and most important, every evening after dinner do whatever it takes to satisfy his every whim.”
“If you can do all of this, every day, for the next six months, I think Maurice will regain his health completely.”
On the way home, Maurice asked Millie: “What did the doctor say?”
“He said you’re going to die.”
