Ever wondered why we bury the dead six feet under?
Grave Stories with Dr Karell King explores cemeteries and graveyards, monument symbolism, and the forgotten stories from historic burial places.
In today’s episode, we uncover the origins of the six feet under burial depth — from London’s 1665 plague laws and fears of disease, to the threat of body snatchers, to folklore warning against the dead rising. We’ll explore how practicality, superstition, and cultural shifts shaped grave depth across history, and ask: are modern graves still dug this deep?
