I'm adding a coffin bell on to my will, should I ever write one. I just think it's a kewl concept.
Some sweet wiki-quotes on the subject.
"When his tomb was reopened, the philosopher John Duns Scotus (1266 – 1308) was reportedly found outside his coffin with his hands torn and bloody after attempting to escape"
"Other variations on the bell included flags and pyrotechnics. Some designs included ladders, escape hatches, and even feeding tubes, but many forgot a method for providing air."
