The thought of being buried alive is a terrifying one, as evidenced by some coffins that bear scratch marks from within, indicating the 'dead' were wrongly pronounced by quack doctors who were high on absinthe. Vitaly Malyukov from Russia decided to ease people's fears by designing caskets that come with an alarm button inside to help those who were wrongfully buried alert the living located six feet above. This glowing red device will be able to alert a control panel which is located in the office of a cemetery caretaker. The idea of being buried in one of these caskets is comforting, but woe to those who undergo cremation.
