1. Is she sealed in a coffin or vault? Did he get her embalmed?

2. He says that there have been pigs and horses in the yard...BUT...were they buried whole carcass to rot? And same issue with her...is she just rotting in the soil? And what about when he dies or sells of the property?

...I might be concerned about water runoff. And I just think that is creepy.
