Also, I think it is China (could be wrong) where they bury people and attach string to their hands which leads up through a tube to the gravestone and the other end is a attached to a bell (so if the person is buried alive) somebody will hear the bell.

I read something about that too, wasn't it where the saying came from 'doing the graveyard shift' in that after people were buried someone was on guard at the burial ground in case a bell rang so they could get the person out.
