Senator Joe Lieberman is terrified of being buried prematurely. His will stipulates that he must be laid out in a room for at least two weeks, or "long enough for decay to be visually observed in my body."

He has consulted over 50 rabbis to try and find one who will give him a sympathetic religious opinion. He has not found anyone yet who will agree with his fears. He is toying with the idea that burial is okay as long as his body is fitted with a heart monitor that would alert someone if his cataleptic heart were to beat more quickly.
