so that the lid stays in place if a tree root or other growing thing reaches the coffin and puts pressure on the lid. There were people buried alive years ago but now with embalming if the person isn't dead when the embalming starts, they are after the blood is drained from the body and the embalming fluid replaces it.

the reason they nail a coffin shut is so when they lay them to rest if some digs up the coffin it is harder for them to break in side of it. it is more for saftey of the dead person

It's a conspiracy set up by hardware stores. They just want you to buy more nails. Even though that idea gets burried. *sigh*
