This past week I was listening to a paranormal radio show where they discussed these different definitions. They claimed in the early 1800's people would be brought into large rooms after they had passed, and were put on tables until the corpse was literally rotting before burying them. This had to do with cultural fears of being buried alive and having people who were supposedly "dead" waking back up in their coffins. It was a rather long, but very interesting discussion. I'll try and find the podcast.
