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.
How long does it take for an embalmed human body to decompose? Yes, I know this is a mobid and distasteful question! I've always had a fascination with the whole funeral business (hence, I greatly enjoyed HBO's Six Feet Under). I only ask this question because my dear mother died three years ago this month. Her body was embalmed and was prepared for two days' of viewing before burial. I am wondering how long it will be before her body begins to decay. For that matter, her father has been dead for 33 years and her mother for 14.
