A body that has been embalmed will look exactly the same as it looked when it was buried for about 100 years or more; if its not embalmed it will be decomposed.

What would a body in a SEALED coffin look like after 2 or 4 or 10 years buried?

A body in a sealed coffin would undergo different stages of decomposition depending on the duration of burial. After 2 years, the body would likely be in the early stages of decomposition, with some soft tissue breakdown and possible mummification if the environment is dry. After 4 years, more significant decomposition would occur, with the body losing most soft tissue, while bones would begin to be exposed. After 10 years, the remains would primarily consist of bones, and any remaining organic material would be minimal, depending on the coffin's materials and environmental conditions.


What does a dead body look like after 50 years in a coffin?

After 50 years in a coffin, a dead body typically undergoes significant decomposition, influenced by factors like the burial environment and the materials of the coffin. The body may appear skeletal, with soft tissues largely decomposed due to microbial activity and environmental conditions. If the coffin is sealed, preservation might occur to some extent, but overall, the remains would likely show signs of decay, such as discoloration and loss of flesh. The extent of decomposition can vary widely based on local soil conditions, moisture levels, and other environmental factors.

yes you can rot in a coffin. The process takes about a year to decompose completely. After that year all that will be is bones and teeth with a few traces of tissue on them. If the body wasn't in a coffin it would only take four to six days along with a rotten eggs smell.
