Too long. In this day and age, people want to be buried in synthetic-material caskets that are more like cars than coffins. Instead of decaying into earth (which a wooden coffin would allow), bodies and ginormous caskets remain there and take up a lot of space. Eventually every part of the world will be covered in cemeteries.

the cement would last a while of course, the casket would not last at all,probably not even 2 weeks , because there's no air 6 feet under the ground, just like your corpse wouldnt last a week,maybe ur bones would, but not ur body..

many years depending on the geographical area... the ground soil will be different depending on the elements of the place plus what the casket was made out of and what it can withstand.
