The process of decomposition is the same for everyone, but how much time it would take varies if the body is in a casket buried in the ground. Some may decompose within a few months, and some may take many years.
But the exact decomposing time differs. Generally, it could take about a year for the body to decompose into a skeleton in ordinary soil and eight to twelve years to decompose a skeleton. And if a dead body is inside a coffin and buried deep underground, it could even take 50 years to decompose all tissues on the body. Normally, substantial decomposition mostly occurs in the course of two weeks, and the bodyâs soft tissues start disintegrating even with preservation.
