How deep must the grave be?
According to Texas Law, graves must be at least 24 deep if there is no impermeable coffin. It is recommended that the body of the deceased by covered as tightly as possible to prevent scavengers from digging into the grave. Although philosophically we are happy if some of God s creatures, such as coyotes find nourishment for their families, we suspect that the public health authorities and the public at large would not understand.
