Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?

hehe..just being morbid here...but it was to prevent the theft of the body by graverobbers..usually for sale to medical students and hospitals for practice...

you wanna know why doctors know what the inside of us looks like..because their predecessors paid for dead bodies to cut open...

and people made a living selling them...

Your children need to watch "Mousehunt" - th film about two brothers who inherit a decrepit house that is home to a supermouse.
In the very beginning of the film, the funeral is held for their father.
The coffin is dropped - and I think the father falls out and goes on a journey through several obstacles - quite funny.
Now that I am typing, I think that he fell out???
