Thats where the saying, 'THE DEAD RINGER CAME FROM" Yrs ago in pommy land they found that they had been burying people alive, so it became the habit, that someone had to sit by the gave with said string attached to a bell, if the person came to, all they had to do was pull and ring the bell and be dug up.....

If anything, I'd take a keep sake left to me by my grandmother, so I could show her I'd kept it to remember her by, just in case there is an afterlife and I meet her again.
That would be so cool. I loved that feisty old lady
