Though death is a fundamental part of life, it's something that modern society has mostly kept out of sight and out of mind. People pass away and are passed along. They're covered in sheets and kept out of sight until morticians beautify them for their final public reveal. Then the casket is closed, and that enclosure is literally stuffed into the ground and left impossible to access.

Because of our increasing distance from the reality of death, though, people are left with plenty of curiosity, discussions, and speculation about what happens to the body after death. Does the body putrefy into a mass of watery substances, or does it desiccate like a mummy? What about mausoleums? Or types of coffin wood? Or a steel vault? Or methods of embalming? Do the deceased’s health and age factors matter? Could you transform into a "bog person" like Tollund Man in Denmark if only you sunk into a peat bog at the moment of death? Could your body, in fact, absorb some crazy fungus and become an honest-to-goodness antagonist of the living in the zombie apocalypse? The possibilities are enough to keep anyone up at night.

Well, we're here to put your mind at ease by removing the doubt and telling you exactly what terrible things are going to happen to your corpse once you inevitably die.

There are a lot of factors that contribute to the state of a body. Certain biological facts, though, let us create a glass window in the lid of a casket to see what would happen to your body after ten years - excluding certain exceptions like mummification (which involves removing the organs), and barring environmental factors (a wet environment will hasten decay, and dry environment will slow decay, for example).

The first thing to know, is that the most dramatic decay happens within the first month, so the difference between the body at a month after death and ten years isn't actually all that much.

For bodies that aren't cremated, there's a specific pattern of events that typically happens in the United States.
