no
The skin shrinks as the fluids drain out of the body exposing the hair and nails.

So much depends on where the body is buried. Dry areas maintain a prepared body for many years where moist soils can decay the body immediately. Hair and nails do preserve developing after demise for a period. Purchasing the expensive vaults for the casket to me is a waist of money. The physique is only a vessel for the soul and can in no way be used once more as soon as it's been used. The Mortuary will sell you what they may be able to however it's a waist. That you may take into account the individual and now not the vessel it was once in. That part is over for ever and can all over again be nothing but the dirt it got here from.

A lot is dependent upon wherein the frame is buried. Dry locations hold a all set frame for decades wherein wet soils can decay the frame immediately. Hair and nails do hold developing after dying for a interval. Buying the costly vaults for the casket to me is a waist of cash. The frame is only a vessel for the soul and can under no circumstances be used once more as soon as it is been used. The Mortuary will promote you what they are able to however it is a waist. You can consider the individual and now not the vessel it was once in. That side is over for ever and can over again be not anything however the filth it got here from.

no, the shrinking of the human body after death gives the appearance that the hair and nails actually grew.

I don't see how they could continue to grow without receiving a steady supply of oxygentated blood.
I've heard that as the corpse decays, it gives the appearance of having longer hair and nails.

nails &hairs are dead cells , which are produce from cells. these cells require oxyzen &nutients . after death these things are not avalable so nails &hairs can not grow, they appears bigger becouse srinkage of body

I think it's probably true. when i was in thailand visiting a place where a famous monk was buried, the guide said that even after he died, periodically someone still cuts his fingernails for him. a little creepy though.

No because since the body is dead it won't produce anything
