Hahaha. Sorry pal, but that is an urban myth busted by the Myth Busters on the Discovery Channel. They would die of asphyxiation under an hour, even if they were alive, and not even a really well-built coffin can stand up to the tons of pressure of dirt. It was actually surprising. Being buried alive would kill them.
