The best one I ever saw was printed upside down. It read: "Don't panic".

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Mortsafes were devices that were made of iron or iron-and-stone. The idea was that the weight of them would deter grave robbers.
Oftentimes, they were more complex and designed of heavy iron, padlocked for even greater security.
They could only be removed by the two people who had the keys. Mortsafes were placed over the coffins for about six weeks.
When there was sufficient decay of the corpse, the mortsafe would be removed and used at another grave site.
Over time, groups were formed that made and rented mortsafes out to graveyards, especially those near medical schools.

Another photo from the 1982 blizzards.
This time from my home territory on the Gower peninsula.
The country lanes of Gower were completely impassable due to significant drifting.
Love how people pull together and help each other in adverse conditions - Around here that community spirit is much the same nowadays too .
