Roadside America has a nice feature on this cemetery, with its crazy, elaborate stone carvings. Looks fascinating! (Thanks to Bruce for the suggestion.)

Before Timothy Clark Smith died in 1893, he made arrangements to make sure that if he was buried alive, there would be a way for him to get out of the predicament.Timothy's face was positioned beneath a cement tube that led to the surface. The 6 foot tube ended at a piece of 14x14 inch plate glass allowing Tim to gaze upward in the event that he was buried alive. A bell was placed in his hand just in case he needed to signal that he was still alive. You can still see Timothy's strange grave at the Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven. (Thanks to Amos Quito for the suggestion.)
