Being buried alive could be one of the worst things imaginable.

Yea back in the day some people who were in comas and stuff would get buried alive. How much would that suck? Get hit in the head and next thing you know you've woken up in a casket underground. And thats if you haven't run out of air and really died.
I've heard of those alarm things too. One i heard of was a little tube that would run up from the casket with a rope inside (and for air). The rope would connect to a bell above ground. If you were buried alive you would tug on your rope until someone heard you (or you died).
